MODIS/Terra Sea Ice Extent 5-Min L2 Swath 1km

The MODIS/Terra Sea Ice Extent 5-Min L2 Swath 1km (MOD29) data set contains 1 km resolution sea ice extent, ice surface temperature, and quality assessment data, plus 5 km resolution geolocation data. <strong>Note</strong>: Forward-processed Version 6 sea ice data are available from 04/20/2015 until present. Version 6 reprocessing is proceeding in time order from the beginning of the data record and should be complete near the end of 2015. Once complete, forward processing will continue for both Version 5 and Version 6 for approximately one year, after which Version 5 will be discontinued.
