This data set is a subset of the MATRIX-SS data set. It contains maps of 6-day and monthly averages of sea ice surface temperatures, sea ice concentration (percent of ice cover within field-of-view), percent polarization of the 18- and 37-GHz brightness temperatures, and other geophysical parameters over land snow, ice sheet, and sea ice. The maps are displayed in polar stereographic projection. The MATRIX-SS data set was produced by the Nimbus Project from the MAP-SS tapes (NSSDC ID 78-098A-08F) onto color, 105-mm film. No data were processed beyond Year 4 (October 1982).
