Intersensor Calibration Between F13 SSMI and F17 SSMIS for Global Sea Ice Data Records
An intercalibration between F13 Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSMI) and F17 Special Sensor Microwave Imager Sounder (SSMIS) sea ice extents and areas for a full year of overlap was undertaken preparatory to extending the 1979-2007 NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) NASA Team algorithm time s...

The 1979- 2007 time series was created from Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) and SSMI data.
