Summary
Abstract: Sea ice products from the Moderate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer (MODIS) include level 2 swath data and level 3
gridded day and night composites, at 1 km resolution. Level 3 products
consist of tiles of data, approximately 1200 km by 1200 km in area,
gridded in a Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area (EASE-Grid) projection. The
sea ice algorithm uses a Normalized Difference Sea Ice Index (NDSI)
