MEaSUREs Polar EASE-Grid 2.0 Daily 6 km Land Freeze/Thaw Status from AMSR-E and AMSR2, Version 2
This data set, part of the NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Program, reports the global, daily freeze/thaw status of the landscape at 6 km resolution on EASE-Grid 2.0 Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere polar grids. The data are derived from observations acquired by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's (JAXA) Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer - Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) and the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2).
