Nimbus-7 SMMR Polar Gridded Radiances and Sea Ice Concentrations
Entry ID:
NSIDC-0007
Summary
Abstract:
This data set contains gridded brightness temperatures and sea ice concentrations for both polar regions. It spans the period from October 1978 through August 1987, when the Nimbus-7 SMMR scanner was turned off. The data were collected every other day at 6.60, 10.69, 18.00, 21.00 and 37.00 GHz. Due to spacecraft power limitations, the scanner operated only on alternate days. There are usually at ...
