[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: MODIS/Aqua Sea Ice Extent and IST Daily L3 Global 4km EASE-Grid Day (MYD29E1D) contains the following fields: sea ice by reflectance and ice surface temperature (IST). Each data granule covers the entire globe with two separate arrays of 4321 x 4321 pixels: one for the Arctic and one for the Antarctic. Data extend from 04 July 2002 to present. Version 4 (V004) is the latest version of MODIS data ... View entire text

Project
Quality MYD29E1D data quality is greatly improved because of improvements in the MYD29 V004 and MYD29P1D V004 products. In polar regions at the boundary of polar darkness and daylight, inconsistency in features mapped is observed. That inconsistency appears to be related to how observations in darkness are processed in the input data products. Analysis of the quality of the sea ice data products is an ... View entire text
