Polar Pathfinder Daily 25 km EASE-Grid Sea Ice Motion Vectors
Entry ID: NSIDC-0116

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: Daily ice motion vectors are computed from Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR), Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR), Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I), and International Arctic Buoy Programme (IABP) buoy data. Daily gridded fields combine data from all sensors, from November 1978 through December 2006. Grids extend from 48.4° N to 90° N, and from 53.2° S to 90° S. ... View entire text
