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

Quality
Quality indicator flags were provided in the level 1b data for the scan status word of each scan. These flags indicated conditions in the original data or in the data processing that may have given rise to reduced-quality calibrated output. None of these data were eliminated from the gridded product
