Version Summary

Updated version reflects F13 data record from 01 Jul 2008 through 29 Apr 2009. It includes additional inter-sensor calibrations.

Overview

This data set provides daily gridded brightness temperatures derived from passive microwave sensors and distributed in a polar stereographic projection. Orbital data from nine channels and for each 24-hour period are mapped to respective grid cells using a simple sum and average method (drop-in-the-bucket method).
