Presenter Leslie Goldman and Gail Reckase, NASA NSIDC DAAC
NASA's National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) recently launched a new website with the same information about cryospheric datasets, services, and tools plus some new features to make it easier for data users to explore, discover, and access NASA’s snow and ice data. Whatever your scientific discipline of interest, NSIDC may have open data that are relevant to your research. Why? The cryosphere is a global system stretching from the Arctic to the Antarctic and includes all the snow, ice, and other frozen regions across the planet. These frozen parts of Earth are important components of the global climate system and provide fresh water and other ecosystem services to people, plants, and animals.
Join NSIDC experts for an interactive walk-through of enhanced data product landing pages, new user resources, featured data visualization tools, and a Jupyter Notebook tutorial on how to programmatically access cryospheric data at NSIDC.
Registration is required to join this event.
