• Due to the data provider's system maintenance, data from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) satellite is currently unavailable, thus impacting the processing of sea ice data. Processing is expected to resume as soon as system maintenance ends. 

  • ATL07QL and ATL10QL have been experiencing a data outage since 22 October 2026 due to maintenance of a distribution portal for an upstream data set. We expect distribution to resume soon.

  • AMSR2 satellite-based data products will continue forward processing for the foreseeable future. NSIDC is planning to develop AMSR3 data products in the future. 

Blue outlined yellow areas on the map below indicate the spatial coverage for this data set.
