Data set update: DMSP SSM/I-SSMIS Pathfinder Daily EASE-Grid Brightness Temperatures

The DMSP SSM/I-SSMIS Pathfinder Daily EASE-Grid Brightness Temperatures, Version 2 data set, accessible through the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC), has been extended through 03 April 2019. This data set contains brightness temperatures derived from the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) and the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) instruments. The spatial resolution is 25 km for all channels; the 85 and 91 GHz channels are also provided at a 12.5 km resolution.

In addition to a temporal coverage update, the data access location has changed. Users accessing this data set through a script will need to update accordingly. The new data access URL is provided below: https://n5eil01u.ecs.nsidc.org/PM/NSIDC-0032.002/
