The ADAM product is made of gridded monthly mean climatologies over land and ocean surfaces, and of a companion API toolkit that enables the calculation of hyperspectral (at 1 nm resolution over the whole 240-4000 nm spectral range) and multidirectional reflectances (i.e. in any illumination/viewing geometry) depending on user choices. The ADAM climatologies that feed the ADAM calculation tools are: For ocean: monthly chlorophyll concentration derived from SeaWiFS-OrbView-2 (1999-2009); it is used to compute the water column reflectance (which shows large spectral variations in the visible, but is insignificant in the near and mid infrared). monthly wind speed derived from SeaWinds-QuikSCAT-(1999-2009); it is used to calculate the ocean glint reflectance. For land: monthly normalized surface reflectances in the 7 MODIS narrow spectral bands derived from FondsdeSol processing chain of MOD09A1 products (derived from Aqua and Terra observations), on which relies the modelling of the hyperspectral/multidirectional surface (soil/vegetation/snow) reflectance. uncertainty variance-covariance matrix for the 7 spectral bands associated to the normalized surface reflectance. For sea-ice: Sea ice pixels (masked in the original MOD09A1 products) have been accounted for by a gap-filling approach relying on the spatial-temporal distribution of sea ice coverage provided by the CryoClim climatology for year 2005.C1965336812-ESA2005-01-01T00:00:00.000Z/2005-12-31T23:59:59.999ZADAM Surface Reflectance Database v4.0ADAM.Surface.Reflectance.DatabaseNAESAESA/ESRIN3CARTESIAN-90 -180 90 180falsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalse0.65int.esa.fedeotruehttps://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/opensearch/collections.atom?uid=C1386250555-NSIDCV0CMRechodev@echo.nasa.govGEOSSEOSDISCo-Registered AMSR-E, QuikSCAT, and WMO Data, Version 1Notice to Data Users:
The documentation for this data set was provided solely by the Principal Investigator(s) and was not further developed, thoroughly reviewed, or edited by NSIDC. Thus, support for this data set may be limited.
This data set contains the following spatially and temporally co-registered data: Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer - Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) brightness temperatures for all channels; Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) backscattering coefficients; and World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ground observations acquired from more than two thousand stations. There is a large, increasing interest in the potential arising from the combination of active and passive microwave data for the extraction of geophysical parameters from spaceborne platforms. Often, one of the major obstacles is the generation of spatially and temporally co-registered data sets for testing hypotheses, validating models, and developing retrieval approaches. The temporal coverage of this data set spans from 01 January 2002 through 19 March 2009 with AMSR-E data included for the 19 June 2002 through 19 March 2009 time period. The volume of the data set is approximately two gigabytes.

Cross calibration is performed by Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) under the DISCOVER project [http://www.remss.com/]. These data sets are combined with conventional observations and a starting estimate of the wind field using a variational analysis method (VAM). The ECMWF Reanalysis (ERA-40) is used as the starting estimate (or background) for July 1987 until December 1998 and the ECMWF Operational Analysis is used from January 1999 onward.

The FT measurement is derived from temporal change classification of global satellite microwave remote sensing time series, including passive microwave radiometry from the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) and Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for EOS (AMSR-E), and radar scatterometry from SeaWinds-on-QuikSCAT. The ecological significance and basis of the FT measurement from satellite microwave remote sensing is summarized in the literature (e.g., see "Relevant Publications" section below). The FT-ESDR is designed to:
1) distinguish FT heterogeneity in accordance with mesoscale climate and landscape topographic features;
2) establish biophysical linkages between FT processes and vegetation productivity, respiration and associated land-atmosphere carbon exchange;
3) distinguish FT dynamics in accordance with episodic weather events, annual anomalies, periodic climate cycles and long-term climate change trajectories."

This data set includes land and sea ice mask information adapted from the AVHRR Pathfinder sea surface temperature (SST) v5.0 and the Optimally Interpolated SST version 2 data sets, respectively. Additionally, near shore pixels originally contaminated by backscatter from land have been filled by several methods, including simple median filling, an inverse-distance weighted mean, and an objective analysis technique that considers the spatial structure of the wind speed data. The gap filling methods and QuikSCAT wind speed data were then evaluated by comparing with in situ wind speed measurements taken from near shore and open ocean buoys and marine weather stations.

It assembles data from C-band sensors onboard the European Remote Sensing Satellites (ERS-1 and ERS-2) covering 1993-2000, Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT) onboard EUMETSAT satellites for 2007-2020, and the Ku-band sensor onboard the QuikSCAT satellite for 1999-2009, onto a common spatial grid (0.05 degree latitude /longitude resolution) and time step (both monthly and seasonal). Data are provided for all land (except high latitudes and islands), and for urban grid cells, based on a specific masking that removes grid cells with > 50% open water or < 20% built land. The all-land data allows users to choose and evaluate other urban masks. There is an offset between C-band and Ku-band backscatter from both vegetated and urban surfaces that is not spatially constant. There is a strong linear correlation (overall R-squared value = 0.69) between 2015 ASCAT urban backscatter and a continental-scale gridded product of building volume, across 8,450 urban grid cells (0.05 degree resolution) from large cities in Europe, China, and the United States.2022-09-30T00:00:00.000ZC2492953186-SEDAC1993-01-01T00:00:00.000Z/2020-12-31T00:00:00.000ZGlobal Monthly and Seasonal Urban and Land Backscatter Time Series, 1993-2020CIESIN_SEDAC_USPAT_BSCATTER_1993_20201.00SCIENCE_QUALITYSEDACSEDACSEDAC3CARTESIAN-90 -180 90 180truefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalse0.65gov.nasa.eosdistruehttps://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/opensearch/collections.atom?uid=C1386250250-NSIDCV0CMRechodev@echo.nasa.govGEOSSEOSDISNASA SCP Arctic and Antarctic Ice Extent from QuikSCAT, 1999-2009, Version 2This data set provides sea ice extent for the Arctic (60-90 degrees North) and Antarctic (52-90 degrees South) in Scatterometer Image Reconstruction (SIR) binary image format, along with ASCII text files containing latitude and longitude coordinates along the sea ice edge, and browse images of SIR files in Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) format. Ancillary products include daily-averaged total sea ice extent in ASCII format. Estimates of sea ice extent were produced from daily-averaged QuikSCAT sigma-0 measurements and extend from 19 July 1999 to 31 December 2009.
QuikSCAT obtains 12 individual radar normalized backscatter (sigma-0) measurements, called slices, for each footprint as it scans over a 1800 km wide swath. Slices are typically 4 to 6 km long by 20 km wide. The summed measurements of the slices are called egg measurements. The effective resolution and shape of each egg measurement is approximately 20 by 30 km, depending on the antenna beam and instrument mode. This data set contains both slice and egg images for each day.
The Microwave Earth Remote Sensing (MERS) group at Brigham Young University (BYU) developed a SIR-with-filtering (SIRF) algorithm that combines forward- and aft-looking sigma-0 measurements to produce enhanced-resolution backscatter images over various azimuth angles. The polarization ratio, incidence angle dependence, and the sigma-0 estimate error standard deviation were used to discriminate between sea ice and ocean. Sea ice extent was estimated for both slice and egg images. The nominal pixel resolution of the slice images is 2.225 km with an estimated effective resolution of approximately 4 km. Egg images have a nominal pixel resolution of 4.45 km with an estimated effective resolution of approximately 8 to 10 km.
Data and browse images are available via FTP, along with C, Fortran, and Interactive Data Language (IDL) tools to read and display the SIR images.C1386250250-NSIDCV01999-07-19T00:00:00.000Z/2009-12-31T23:59:59.999ZNASA SCP Arctic and Antarctic Ice Extent from QuikSCAT, 1999-2009, Version 2NSIDC-02652NSIDCV0NASA NSIDC DAACNASA NSIDC DAACLevel 3CARTESIAN-90 -180 -52 18060 -180 90 180falsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalse1.43gov.nasa.eosdistruehttps://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/opensearch/collections.atom?uid=C2098858642-POCLOUDCMRechodev@echo.nasa.govGEOSSEOSDISOcean Surface Current Analyses Real-time (OSCAR) Surface Currents - Final 0.25 Degree (Version 2.0)Ocean Surface Current Analyses Real-time (OSCAR) is a global surface current database and NASA funded research project.
