Abstract

The SMOS & CryoSat-2 Sea Ice Data Product Processing and Dissemination Service (CS2SMOS-PDS) ensures the automated and continuous operational generation of the SMOS and the merged CryoSat-2/SMOS Sea Ice Thickness products.

Documentation

Data Access

Daily SMOS and weekly merged CryoSat-2/SMOS sea ice thickness data can be downloaded via FTP through a Web browser, a FTP client (e.g. FileZilla) or command line. The access is anomymous.
