QA4ECV Polar sea-ice spectral albedo (2000-2016)
Abstract
The Quality Assurance for Essential Climate Variables (QA4ECV) project produced four daily polar sea-ice products, each with a different averaging time window (24 hours, 7 days, 15 days, 31 days). For each time window, the number of samples, mean and standard deviation of Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) cloud-free sea ice albedo was calculated. These products are on a predefined polar stereographic grid at three spatial resolutions (1 km, 5 km, 25 km). The time span of the generated sea ice albedo covers the months between March and September of each year from 2000 to 2016 inclusive.

| Title | QA4ECV computation to produce polar sea-ice data |
| Abstract | This dataset was created using a specially processed MISR sea ice albedo product (that was generated at Langley Research Center using Rayleigh correction) combining this with a cloud mask of a sea ice mask product, MOD29, which is derived from the MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), which is also, like MISR, onboard the Terra satellite. Four daily sea ice products have been created, each with a different averaging time window (24 h, 7 days, 15 days, 31 days). For each time window, the number of samples, mean and standard deviation of MISR cloud-free sea ice albedo is calculated. These products are on a predefined polar stereographic grid at three spatial resolutions (1 km, 5 km, 25 km). |
