The NSIDC DAAC VIIRS data collection includes snow cover, sea ice cover & sea ice temperature data collected by the VIIRS sensor. The scanning radiometer acquires visible & infrared imagery & radiometric measurements of Earth’s landmasses & oceans. nsidc.org/data/viirs

Our Glacier Photograph Collection is an online, searchable collection of photos of glaciers, mostly taken in the Rocky Mountains, the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, and Greenland between the mid-1800s to the present day. Check it out: nsidc.org/data/glacier_p…

When is the Northeast Passage open to ship traffic? While the Northeast Passage is never guaranteed to be ice free, a 2023 study identified the time of year when ships are the likeliest to succeed in negotiating the route: mid-September. Learn more: bit.ly/4bC9YQ7

NASA Worldview is a visualization tool that allows users to interactively browse, compare, animate & download over 1,200 visualized satellite data products. Learn how to use NASA Worldview to visualize NSIDC DAAC data: nsidc.org/data/user-reso…

Where will sea level rise most from ice sheet melt? Scientists anticipate that sea level will rise fastest along some densely populated coastal regions in the tropics and mid-latitudes. Learn more: nsidc.org/learn/ask-scie…

The Nimbus Data Rescue Project saw NSIDC digitizing images & infrared radiometer data from Nimbus satellites from the 1960s, 1970s & 1980s. Early Nimbus satellites made observations of sea ice that predate the continuous sea ice satellite record. nsidc.org/data/nimbus

How have the frequency of these rain on snow events changed, have they become more severe, & how are communities and ecosystems being affected by these changes? These are questions that the Arctic Rain On Snow Study aims to answer. Learn about the project: bit.ly/3KlW49Q

NASA’s OpenAltimetry is a free and powerful map-based data visualization and discovery tool for exploring surface elevation profiles from ICESat and ICESat-2 satellite mission altimetry data. Learn more: nsidc.org/openaltimetry

When combined with data from the ICESat and Operation IceBridge data collections, ICESat-2 data enable researchers to investigate & better understand changes occurring to the cryosphere over time. Get ICESat, IceBridge, and ICESat-2 data at the NSIDC DAAC: nsidc.org/data/icesat-2

Arctic sea ice extent in May declined at a slightly faster pace compared to average. In Antarctica, the Bellingshausen Sea remains nearly ice free as far south as 72 degrees South by the end of May. bit.ly/43qMQTH

Ice Sheets Today offers the latest satellite data and scientific analyses on surface melting of Earth's two ice sheets: Greenland in the Northern Hemisphere, and Antarctic in the Southern Hemisphere. Learn about the project: nsidc.org/ice-sheets-tod…

Next in DAAC Scientist Talks, NASA NSIDC DAAC scientist Walt Meier dives into Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite data, discussing its sensor, mission, products, research, and applications. The NSIDC DAAC archives most of the SMAP products. youtu.be/0UPCrS1_tDI

The NSIDC DAAC ICESat collection includes data products from NASA's Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite including data products that describe elevations of ice sheets, glaciers, and sea ice and height profiles of clouds and aerosols. Get data: nsidc.org/data/icesat

The Arctic Rain on Snow Study at NSIDC funded an award-winning StoryMap which tells the story of a Nenets reindeer herder named Tokcha Khudi and how a catastrophic rain-on-snow event impacted his annual migration on the Yamal Peninsula in 2013. bit.ly/3TmC6k4

Snow-covered area in May was near average. Western states showed a mix of snow cover duration. Colorado was particularly quite dry in the south. Extremely low snow water equivalent (SWE) was recorded across Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. bit.ly/3TaaUUM

As global temperatures have risen, snow has tended to melt earlier in the year, but the date at which vegetation starts to grow hasn’t necessarily kept pace. go.nature.com/3SxLuAp

The NSIDC DAAC MODIS data collection includes a suite of snow cover and sea ice data products. MODIS data archived at NSIDC facilitate a better understanding of how the cryosphere has influenced our planet over time. Get data and learn more: nsidc.org/data/modis

The NASA Earthdata Cloud is a cloud-based archive of Earth observations. The NSIDC DAAC is currently transferring data products to the Earthdata Cloud. Check out our Earthdata Cloud guide for an overview of how to access NSIDC DAAC data in Earthdata Cloud: nsidc.org/data/user-reso…

Worldwide, some 1.5 billion people rely on snow melt for water. Insights gained from the Airborne Snow Observatory mission can be applied to water management in places across the globe where snowpack provides crucial water resources. Get data: nsidc.org/data/aso

The Evenki Atlas focuses on sharing the knowledge, wisdom and culture of one of the Indigenous Nations of Siberia, Russian Federation: the Evenki. Evenki are a fishing, hunting and reindeer herding people that live over a vast geographical range. evenki-atlas.org/index.html
