The Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Program, at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC), is pleased to announce that six of its data sets can now be readily geolocated by popular geospatial software packages such as GDAL and Panoply. These updated data sets include two new variables that specify x and y coordinates for the projection in meters from the origin. To obtain these data, visit the following data set landing pages:
