Description
Summary:This data set contains labeled training data for supervised classification of open-water/thin-ice, sea-ice, and cloud pixels from MODIS thermal-infrared satellite data and is created from manual categorization of dimensional reduced and unsupervised clustered co-located Sentinel-1 SAR and MODIS MOD021KM/MYD021KM swaths. All data originates from the Brunt Ice Shelf area in the Antarctic Southeastern Weddell Sea [34degW to 18degW; 73degS to 77degS] resampled to an equi-rectangular grid [445 (rows) x 460 (columns)]. The data is organized as tab-delimited tables per Sentinel-1 reference swath with geolocation (lon/lat) and the compiled predictors for different MODIS swath combinations. This data can be used to retrace the classifier training as described in the reference publication [DOI: https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-15-1551-2021] or used as a basis to create your own classification scheme. Additional information can be found in the provided meta data file.
