Providing ocean satellite data for the Arctic and Antarctic
750m VIIRS sea ice products now available
750m VIIRS sea ice products for the Arctic and Antarctic are now available in the PolarWatch Portal. Products include sea ice concentration, sea ice thickness and surface temperature.
Contribute to the next Arctic Research Plan
The Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) is developing the next Arctic Research Plan for 2022–2026 and is seeking input from any interested individuals and organizations. The comment period is open through June 11, 2021.
ESA CCI Ocean Colour Version 5 Available
Version 5.0 of the ESA CCI Ocean Colour Product is available on the West Coast Node ERDDAP, providing over 60 ocean color products at daily, 8-day, and monthly intervals back to 1997.
Mapping Projected Datasets in R
This example demonstrates accessing and working with sea ice data served by ERDDAP in polar projected coordinates. Find and preview data in ERDDAP, create URL requests to download projected data from ERDDAP, use the latitude/longitude grids associated with a projected dataset, make maps of projected data with ggplot.
