VIIRS/JPSS1 Sea Ice Cover Daily L3 Global 375m EASE-Grid 2.0 Day, Version 2

This data set reports sea ice cover/extent derived from radiance data acquired by the Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS). Following the approach used by MODIS, the algorithm converts VIIRS calibrated radiances into brightness temperature and computes sea ice cover using Normalized Diff...

Description
Summary:This data set reports sea ice cover/extent derived from radiance data acquired by the Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS). Following the approach used by MODIS, the algorithm converts VIIRS calibrated radiances into brightness temperature and computes sea ice cover using Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI). VIIRS flies on board the Joint Polar Satellite System 1 (JPSS-1), also known as NOAA-20.
