NASA MEaSUREs Global Record of Daily Landscape Freeze/Thaw Status Extended Through 2012

The NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) has released Version 3 of the MEaSUREs Global Record of Daily Landscape Freeze/Thaw Status data set. This release, part of NASA's Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Program, extends the SMMR-SSM/I-SSMIS freeze/thaw record through 2012, corrects land/ocean mask and freeze/thaw misclassification errors over ocean dominated grid cells, and applies a revised methodology to produce data annual quality maps.
