This Environmental Data Record (EDR) provides Sea Ice Concentration (SIC) and Ice Surface Temperature (IST) from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument onboard Suomi-NPP, NOAA-20, and NOAA-21. This daily product identifies ice cover and estimates ice concentration and ice surface temperature over water surfaces for clear (cloud-free) pixels. No land ice applications are included. The product also includes quality information which provides support information on the quality of ice estimates. The algorithm utilizes VIIRS visible bands I1 (0.640 micron), I2 (0.865 micron), I3 (1.61 micron), M5 (0.672 micron), M7 ( 0.862 micron), M10 (1.602 micron), M15 (10.729 micron), and M16 (11.845 micron) at a gridded spatial resolution of 1 kilometer. VIIRS SIC and IST products are distributed by the Comprehensive Large-Array Stewardship System (CLASS) as single 86-second granules in NetCDF-4 format with metadata attributes included.
