SMOS-CryoSat L4 Sea Ice Thickness ESA/ESRIN EARTH SCIENCE>CRYOSPHERE EARTH SCIENCE>CRYOSPHERE>SEA ICE SMOS MIRAS Orthoimagery Cryosphere Sea Ice L-Band (19.4 - 76.9) cm Sun-synchronous 204 758 km 1000 km Interferometric Radiometers SMOS MIRAS DIF10 The SMOS-CryoSat merged Sea Ice Thickness Level 4 product, in NetCDF format, is based on estimates from both the MIRAS and the SIRAL instruments, with a significant reduction in the relative uncertainty for the thickness of the thin ice. A weekly averaged product is generated every day by the Alfred Wegener Institut (AWI), by merging the weekly AWI CryoSat-2 sea ice product and the daily SMOS sea ice thickness retrieval. All grids are projected onto the 25 km EASE2 Grid, based on a polar aspect spherical Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection. The grid dimension is 5400 x 5400 km, equal to a 432 x 432 grid centered on the geographic Pole. Coverage is limited to the October-April (winter) period for the Northern Hemisphere, due to the melting season, from year 2010 onwards. 2019-05-31T00:00:00.00Z series L4_SIT_Open eng -16.6 -180.0 90.0 -180.0 90.0 180.0 -16.6 180.0 -16.6 -180.0 EO Sign In Authentication
