The MEaSUREs Northern Hemisphere Polar EASE-Grid 2.0 Daily 6 km Land Freeze/Thaw Status from AMSRE and AMSR2, Version 1 data set is now available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). This data set, part of the Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Program, augments an existing global 25 km resolution data set, the MEaSUREs Global Record of Daily Landscape Freeze/Thaw Status. It provides daily landscape Freeze/Thaw status at 6 km resolution for the years 2002 to 2016 derived from observations acquired by the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer - Earth Observing System (AMSRE) and the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2).
