MEaSUREs MOA2014 now available

The MEaSUREs MODIS Mosaic of Antarctica 2013-2014 (MOA2014) Image Map, Version 1 data set is now available from the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). This data set, part of the NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Program, includes two image maps produced from composited image swath data acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) over Antarctica for the 2013-2014 austral summer season. The two image maps, a snow grain size map and a surface morphology map, are both provided at two different grid scales of 125 m and 750 m resolution. These data are a follow on to the MOA2004 and MOA2009 data sets.
