Overview
This data set, part of the NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Program, includes two image maps - a snow grain size map and a surface morphology map - provided at two different resolutions of 125 m and 750 m. The maps were produced from composited image swath data acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) over Antarctica for the 2013-2014 austral summer season.
