VIIRS/NPP Ice Surface Temperature Daily L3 Global 750m EASE-Grid 2.0 Day V002

Metadata Updated: April 10, 2025

This data set estimates of sea ice surface temperature (IST) derived from radiance data acquired by the Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS). Following the approach used by MODIS, the algorithm converts VIIRS calibrated radiances into brightness temperature and computes IST using a split-window technique.

VIIRS flies on board the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite.
