2010 Antarctica MCoRDS L2 Ice Thickness data, and reprocessed 2010 Antarctica IceBridge MCoRDS L1B Geolocated Radar Echo Strength Profiles data are now available from NSIDC. See the IceBridge MCoRDS L2 Ice Thickness Web page at https://nsidc.org/data/irmcr2 , and the IceBridge MCoRDS L1B Geolocated Radar Echo Strength Profiles Web page at https://nsidc.org/data/irmcr1b for more information.
NSIDC is pleased to announce that the DMSP SSM/I-SSMIS Pathfinder Daily EASE-Grid Brightness Temperature data for 14 December 2006 through 31 December 2010 are now available.
On 02 May 2011, NSIDC will discontinue distribution of Preliminary Level-3 AMSR-E data.
NASA IceBridge Ku-Band Radar L1B Geolocated Radar Echo Strength Profiles data for Greenland 2010 are now available from NSIDC. See the IceBridge Ku-Band Radar L1B Geolocated Radar Echo Strength Profiles Web page at https://nsidc.org/data/irkub1b for more information.
NOAA@NSIDC team lead Florence Fetterer works with Dr. Walt Meier and others at NSIDC to develop a climate data record for sea ice that meets the criteria set forth by the National Research Council (NRC 2004. Climate Data Records from Environmental Satellites). She gave a progress talk on behalf of Walt, project lead, at the meeting Association of American Geographers (AAG), Seattle, 12-16 April.
While in Seattle for Association of American Geographers (AAG), Florence Fetterer visited the Polar Science Center (PSC) at the University of Washington Applied Physics Laboratory. The NOAA@NSIDC team at NSIDC works with PSC on long-term stewardship of data from many field programs. One example is the International Arctic Buoy Programme. Conversations with UW researchers stressed the need for certain currently unfunded data projects.
Reprocessed 2009 Antarctica IceBridge NASA DMS L1B Images are now available from NSIDC. See the IceBridge DMS L1B Geolocated and Orthorectified Images Web page at https://nsidc.org/data/iodms1b for more information.
Reverb, a new tool for searching and ordering data from NSIDC and other NASA data centers, is now available.
The Canadian Meteorological Centre (CMC) Daily Snow Depth Analysis data set now includes daily and monthly data, as well as monthly climatologies, for 2010.
On Thursday, 14 April from 7:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. (USA Mountain Time), NSIDC will suspend data distribution and related services to accommodate maintenance.
Reprocessed 2009 Antarctica NASA IceBridge MCoRDS L1B Geolocated Radar Echo Strength Profiles and MCoRDS L2 Ice Thickness Data are now available from NSIDC. As of April 12, 2011, Version 01 (V01) 2009 Antarctica MCoRDS data are replaced by V01.1. See the IceBridge MCoRDS L1B Geolocated Radar Echo Strength Profiles Web page at https://nsidc.org/data/irmcr1b and the IceBridge MCoRDS L2 Ice Thickness Data Web page at https://nsidc.org/data/irmcr2 for more information.
The NASA IceBridge CAMBOT L1B Geolocated Images data for 2010 Antarctica are now available from NSIDC. See the IceBridge CAMBOT L1B Geolocated Images Web page at https://nsidc.org/data/iocam1b for more information.
The NASA IceBridge ATM L1B Qfit Elevation and Return Strength and IceBridge ATM L2 Icessn Elevation, Slope, and Roughness data for 2010 Antarctica are now available from NSIDC. See the IceBridge ATM L1B Qfit Elevation and Return Strength Web page at https://nsidc.org/data/ilatm1b and the IceBridge ATM L2 Icessn Elevation, Slope, and Roughness Web page at https://nsidc.org/data/ilatm2 for more information.
The National Snow and Ice Data Center, through a grant from the National Science Foundation, is modifying its facility to become one of the most energy-efficient data centers in the United States. As a part of this effort, NSIDC will shut down our computing center from Wednesday, 30 March through Sunday, 3 April to accommodate construction. The NSIDC Web site will be available intermittently during this time, providing data documentation and other information. However, access to all NSIDC data and online services will be unavailable.
The Pre-IceBridge LVIS L2 Geolocated Surface Elevation Product data set is now available from NSIDC. See the Pre-IceBridge LVIS L2 Geolocated Surface Elevation Product Web page at https://nsidc.org/data/blvis2 for more information.

The World Climate Research Program (WCRP) Climate and Cryosphere (CliC) Project Office sponsored a Satellite-derived Sea Ice Products Community Workshop at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD, 15-16 March, 2011. Participants discussed ways to improve the accuracy and reliability of products and address user needs. The group plans to share common products (for example, landmasks) and collaborate on a peer-reviewed journal article.
Photographs of glaciers in the McMurdo Dry Valleys region of Antarctica have been added to the Glacier Photo Collection.
NOAA@NSIDC, the European Space Agency, NASA, and several other agencies sponsor the Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) to work on improving the quality, timeliness, and accessibility of sea surface temperature (SST) fields.
The IceBridge Accumulation Radar L1B Geolocated Radar Echo Strength Profiles data set is now available from NSIDC. See the IceBridge Accumulation Radar L1B Geolocated Radar Echo Strength Profiles Web page at https://nsidc.org/data/iracc1b for more information.
