Datasets used

  • Sea Ice Concentrations (Sea Ice Concentrations from Nimbus-7 SMMR and DMSP SSM/I Passive Microwave Data) [Nimbus-7 and DMSP: SMMR and SSM/I]

    ID: 640
    Sensor: SMMR and SSM/I Dates used: 1940/03-1998/03

    This data set is generated from brightness temperature data derived from Nimbus-7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) and Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) -F8, -F11 and -F13 Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) radiances at a grid cell size of 25 x 25 km. The data are provided in the polar stereographic projection.
