AMSR-E/Aqua Daily EASE-Grid Brightness Temperatures, Version 1
The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer - Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) instrument on the NASA EOS Aqua satellite provides global passive microwave measurements of the Earth. NSIDC produces AMSR-E gridded brightness temperature data by interpolating AMSR-E data (6.9 GHz, 10.7 GHz, 18.7 GHz, 23.8 GHz, 36.5 GHz, and 89.0 GHz) to the output grids from swath space using an Inverse Distance Squared (ID2) method. AMSR-E/Aqua L2A Global Swath Spatially-Resampled Brightness Temperatures (AE_L2A) input source data are used. These data are provided in three EASE-Grid projections (north and south Lambert azimuthal and global cylindrical) at 25 km resolution, and in one global cylindrical, equidistant latitude-longitude projection at 0.25 degree (quarter-degree) resolution.

- Type: NOT PROVIDEDDescription: Allows users to download select NSIDC Earth Observing System (EOS) DAAC data directly via HTTPS. Products are available from: AGDC, AMSR-U, AMSR-E, ELOKA, FGDC, GLIMS, IceBridge, IceBridge Flight Reports, MEaSUREs, NOAA, Passive Microwave, PARCA, and SnowEx, to name a few.
- Type: Downloadable ToolDescription: NSIDC provides software and data files for geolocating EASE-Grid data sets at NSIDC. The geolocation software are contains routines in IDL, FORTRAN and C for converting between latitudes/longitude coordinates and row/column coordinates for both EASE-Grid and EASE-Grid 2.0. The geolocation data files are Look-up files that contain arrays with the latitude and longitude at the center of each EASE-Grid and EASE-Grid 2.0 grid cell.
- Type: Web User InterfaceDescription: A search interface providing users the ability to search amongst all data sets cataloged by NSIDC.
