MEaSUREs Greenland Surface Melt Daily 25km EASE-Grid 2.0 V001

Published by NASA NSIDC DAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: October 25, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-07-17

This data set, part of the NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) program, offers users a 25 km daily record of surface/near-surface melting on the Greenland Ice Sheet. The presence of melting is determined from brightness temperature data acquired during a 34 year span by three satellite-borne microwave radiometers: the Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR), the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I), and the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS).
