MOD29P1D

MODIS/Terra Sea Ice Extent Daily L3 Global 1km EASE-Grid Day V061

This global Level-3 (L3) data set provides daily daytime sea ice extent and ice surface temperature derived from the 'MODIS/Terra Sea Ice Extent 5-Min L2 Swath 1km' (https://doi.org/10.5067/MODIS/MOD29.061) product. Each data granule is a tile consisting of 10 x 10 degrees of data gridded to the Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area Scalable Earth Grid (EASE-Grid). The terms "Version 61" and "Collection 6.1" are used interchangeably in reference to this release of MODIS data.

NSIDC_ECS_NASA_Earthdata_Search View Tool Record
Type: Web User Interface
Description: NASA Earthdata Search is a map-based interface where users can search for Earth science data, filter results based on spatial and temporal constraints, and when available, order data with customizations including re-formatting, re-projecting, and spatial and parameter subsetting. Thousands of Earth science data sets are accessible from 12 science-oriented Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs). The NSIDC DAAC distributes several hundred data sets in NASA Earthdata Search, many with customization options.
NSIDC_ECS_Data_Search View Tool Record
Type: Web User Interface
Description: A search interface providing users the ability to search amongst all data sets cataloged by NSIDC.
NSIDC_ECS_DATA_ACCESS_NOTEBOOK View Tool Record
