Near-Real-Time SSM/I EASE-Grid Daily Global Ice Concentration and Snow Extent V002
The Near-real-time Ice and Snow Extent (NISE) data set provides daily, global maps of sea ice concentrations and snow extent. These data are not suitable for time series, anomalies, or trends analyses. They are meant to provide a best estimate of current ice and snow conditions based on information and algorithms available at the time the data are acquired. Near-real-time products are not intended for operational use in assessing sea ice conditions for navigation. This NISE Version 2 product contains SSMIS-derived sea ice concentrations and snow extents derived from the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) aboard the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) F13 satellite. For DMSP-F16, SSMIS-derived data, see <a href="https://doi.org/10.5067/JAQDJKPX0S60"> NISE Version 3</a>. For DMSP-F17, SSMIS-derived data, see <a href="https://doi.org/10.5067/VF7QO90IHZ99"> NISE Version 4</a>. For DMSP-F18, SSMIS-derived data, see <a href="https://doi.org/10.5067/3KB2JPLFPK3R"> NISE Version 5</a>.

- Type: ECHO ORDERSDescription: NSIDC_ECS EOSDIS ECHO ORDERS Service Implementation
- Type: EGI - No ProcessingDescription: Using this service, data from the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) can be accessed directly from our HTTPS file system, or through our Application Programming Interface (API). This API offers you the ability to programmatically order and bulk-download data using temporal and spatial filters without the need to script against NSIDC's data directory structure. This may be valuable if you are interested in incorporating data access commands into your analysis or visualization code.
- Type: NOT PROVIDEDDescription: Allows users to download select NSIDC Earth Observing System (EOS) DAAC data directly via HTTPS. Products are available from AMSR, AMSR-E, ASO, Aquarius, HMA, IceBridge, ICESat/GLAS, ICESat-2, MEaSUREs, MODIS, NIMBUS, NISE, Passive Microwave, SnowEx, SMAP and VIIRS.
- 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.
- Type: Web User InterfaceDescription: 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.
- Type: Downloadable ToolDescription: A Jupyter notebook exploring data coverage, size, and customization service availability along with direct data download utilizing the NSIDC DAAC's Data Access and Service API.
- Type: Web User InterfaceDescription: Search and filter data files for a given data set using a map-based interface. Data filtering options include filename wildcard, start and end date, and spatial area as bounding box, polygon, or geospatial file import.Show MoreShow Less
