Overview

This data set consists of two digital image maps for Greenland: the 2005 MOG Surface Morphology Image Map and the 2005 MOG Grain Size Image Map. The image maps are constructed from MODIS imagery acquired during 2005 and provide nearly cloud-free views of all land areas and islands larger than a few hundred meters, including the ice caps on Baffin Island, Devon Island, Axel Heiberg Island, and Ellesmere Island.

Many NSIDC DAAC data sets can be accessed using the NSIDC DAAC's Data Access Tool. This tool provides the ability to search and filter data with spatial and temporal constraints using a map-based interface.Users have the option to

How can I use code to read GeoTiffs?

Below the image in this article, you will find sample code in IDL, MATLAB, and Python to read in a GeoTIFF file, extract the metadata, and create an image. The code has been tested with the following data products:

We recommend using the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) to convert GeoTIFF files into a different format.
