AMSR-E/Aqua Daily L3 6.25 km Sea Ice Drift Polar Grids

Entry ID: AE_SID

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer - Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) instrument on the NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) Aqua satellite provides global passive microwave measurements of land, ocean, and atmospheric variables for the investigation of water and energy cycles. This Level-3 gridded product (AE_SID) includes sea ice speed and direction generated by applying the Goddard Space ...
