Sea Ice Concentrations from Nimbus-7 SMMR and DMSP SSM/I Passive Microwave Data
Entry ID:
NSIDC-0051
|
Summary
The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) sea ice concentration data set in
the polar stereographic projection is derived from the Scanning Multichannel
Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) and Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) data
using the NASA Team algorithm. It is designed to provide a consistent time
series of sea ice ... concentrations (the fraction of ocean area covered by sea
ice) spanning the coverage of several passive microwave instruments. To aid in
this goal, sea ice algorithm coefficients are changed to reduce differences in
sea ice extent and area as estimated using the SMMR and SSM/I sensors.
The data set currently includes daily and monthly averaged sea ice
concentrations derived from Nimbus-7 SMMR and DMSP-F8, -F11 and -F13 SSM/I
daily brightness temperatures at a grid cell size of 25 x 25 km. The data set
begins October 1978 and continues through December 2004. Data are available
via FTP. Data files are stored as flat binary data with one byte per pixel.
For each data file, a corresponding graphics file in GIF format is provided.
These sea ice concentrations are generated by the Oceans and Ice Branch,
Laboratory for Hydrospheric Processes at NASA GSFC, using SMMR brightness
temperatures that were processed at NASA GSFC and SSM/I brightness
temperatures that were processed at the National Snow and Ice Data Center
(NSIDC). Both of these data sets are archived at NSIDC.

Quality
NSIDC staff visually checks the entire set of data files and selected
graphics files. This includes checks for proper file structure,
comparisons to existing SMMR- and SSM/I-derived sea ice concentration
grids, masks, and information files, and examination of data quality.
Some weather-related effects and land contamination ... are still present.
The amount and spatial distribution of those remaining weather effects
varies with season. Also, occasional bad scan lines still appear in the
data. Based on NSIDC analyses (see NSIDC Special Report 5: An
Intercomparison of DMSP F11- and F13-derived Sea Ice Products for
summaries of differences among the SSM/I sensors), some sensor-to-sensor
differences are likely to remain in these data, particularly for
marginal ice zones.
During May 1986, residual weather effects and processing errors result
in large bands of very low ice concentrations over the open ocean in the
Weddell, Bellingshausen, and Amundsen seas in the Southern Hemisphere.
