Nimbus-7 SMMR Pathfinder Daily EASE-Grid Brightness Temperatures
Entry ID: NSIDC-0071

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: This data set consists of brightness temperatures acquired from the Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) on board the Nimbus-7 Pathfinder satellite. The brightness temperatures have been gridded onto the Equal-Area Scalable Earth Grid (EASE-Grid) and are presented in three different projections: Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, and global. The SMMR EASE-Grid data were derived ... View entire text
