SSMIS Sea Ice Concentration Maps on 10 km Polar Stereographic Grid, Version 1
Data set id:
NSIDC-0674

NSIDC does not archive these data. Please visit the data set website for data access and citation guidance.

Overview

Ice concentration is computed from atmospherically corrected SSMIS brightness temperatures, using a combination of state-of-the-art algorithms and dynamic tie-points. The data set includes error-bars for each grid cell (uncertainties). These data are distributed on FTP. Since most browsers do not support FTP, an FTP client is necessary to access these data.
