Data set update: Sea Ice Trends and Climatologies from SMMR and SSM/I-SSMIS

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 2019

The Sea Ice Trends and Climatologies from SMMR and SSM/I-SSMIS, Version 3 data set, accessible through the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC), has been updated through 31 December 2018. This data set contains sea ice concentrations, ice-covered area, ice persistence, and sea ice extent for the Arctic and Antarctic. The data are derived from the Electrically Scanning Microwave Radiometer (ESMR), the Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR), the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I), and the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS). Both monthly and daily data files are available.
