VIIRS/NPP Sea Ice Cover 6-Min L2 Swath 375m V002

This data set reports the location of sea ice cover derived from radiance data acquired by the Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite. Following the approach used by MODIS, Sea Ice is detected using the Normalized Difference Snow Index.
