What are the current snow and sea ice products at NSIDC?
See the Data Summaries Web page for a list of current products. The MODIS snow cover and sea ice products from the Terra satellite are available with observations beginning 24 February 2000, and from the Aqua satellite with observations beginning 4 July 2002. The lag time between observations and availability of products is only a few days. The processing and reprocessing schedule for all MODIS data determines the lag time. Please refer to Data Versions Web page for the processing and reprocessing schedule.
