New data access options are available for the MEaSUREs Greenland Monthly Image Mosaics from MODIS, Version 1 data set accessible from the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). The direct download location for this MEaSUREs (Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments) data set has changed, and both temporal searching and ordering are now available through NASA Earthdata Search using the Package Options button on the data set Web page.
