The Department of Defense (DoD) has extended the processing and delivery of the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) data through 31 July 2025. The SSMIS data are used as input for this NSIDC-produced data set, which will therefore stop processing after 31 July 2025. Please contact NSIDC User Services if you have questions.
