Scatterometer Data at NSIDC

The NASA-funded Scatterometer Climate Record Pathfinder (SCP) has been generating a comprehensive suite of processed scatterometer imagery to support climate studies over the polar and terrestrial regions. The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) is collaborating with Brigham Young University (BYU) and the Physical Oceanography DAAC (PO.DAAC) to develop integrated active/passive microwave sensor products. New products proposed by the collaboration include sea ice motion, melt onset/freeze over sea ice, sea ice type and extent, and Greenland accumulation and melt.

The Order Data page provides a list of scatterometer data, the FAQs page has some of the most frequently asked questions about scatterometer products, and the Publications page provides a bibliography of published research using scatterometer data.
