NASA IceBridge POS/AV L1B Corrected Position and Attitude Data for 2011 Antarctica are now available from NSIDC. See the IceBridge POS/AV L1B Corrected Position and Attitude Data Web page at https://nsidc.org/data/ipapp1b for more information.
The SCICEX Web site has been improved. SCICEX is a federal interagency collaboration among the U.S. Navy, research agencies, and the marine research community to use nuclear-powered submarines for scientific studies of the Arctic Ocean. The new site includes links to data access locations, science meeting notes and presentations, history and background of the program, scientific publications, and a photo gallery. Data include sea ice thickness, water chemistry, bathymetry, hydrography, and biology measurements of the Arctic Ocean.

NSIDC is pleased to announce the release of two Antarctic data sets, part of the NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) program. The MEaSUREs program aims to develop consistent global and continent scale data records related to earth science, or Earth System Data Records (ESDRs).
NASA IceBridge UAF GPS/IMU L1B Corrected Position and Attitude Data are now available from NSIDC. See the IceBridge UAF GPS/IMU L1B Corrected Position and Attitude Data Web page at https://nsidc.org/data/ipuaf1b for more information.
The Sea-ice Thickness and Draft Statistics from Submarine ULS, Moored ULS, and a Coupled Model is now available from NSIDC. This data set consists of estimates of mean values of sea-ice thickness and sea-ice draft in meters computed from three different input data sets: sea ice draft from Upward Looking Sonar (ULS) mounted on submarines, sea ice draft from ULS mounted on bottom-anchored moorings, and a simulated ice-thickness model.
12,500 Browse Images from 19 June 2002 to 10 September 2002 are unavailable for MODIS/Terra Snow Cover 5-Min L2 Swath 500m (MOD10_L2) and MODIS/Terra Sea Ice Extent 5-Min L2 Swath 1km (MOD29).

The World Climate Research Program's (WCRP) Open Science Conference took place in Denver on October 24-28. Florence Fetterer and Ann Windnagel attended sessions dedicated to the cryosphere and used the opportunity to talk with NOAA@NSIDC and other colleagues for informal product planning, outreach, and strategizing on how to make every dollar spent on data stewardship go further.
The International Ice Charting Working Group's 12th meeting was hosted by the British Antarctic survey October 17-21 in Cambridge, England. The NOAA@NSIDC team at NSIDC works with this group to advance the use of operational ice charts by researchers and to assist in archiving these valuable records. Florence Fetterer gave a talk on work led by John Walsh of the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, to extend the observational record in sea ice extent products back to 1850.
The Antarctic Glaciological Data Center at NSIDC has released a new data set, containing depth profiles for methane (CH4) in South Pole firn air. The profiles represent a roughly 100-year history of the isotopic composition of CH4 at South Pole Station.
