MODIS Sea Ice Products User Guide to Collection 5 George A. Riggs Dorothy K. Hall Vincent V. Salomonson December 2006 Addendum to MOD29P1N section January 2007 Introduction The MODIS Sea Ice Products User Guide to Collection 5 of the MODIS products has been expanded with information regarding characteristics and quality of sea ice products at each level. A user should find information on characteristics and quality that affect interpretation and use of the products. In content this guide includes information and explanations that should enhance a user’s understanding of the products. Each product section of the guide has been expanded to include descriptions and explanations of characteristics and quality of the product and the online guide has links (or future links) to imagery and graphics exemplifying those characteristics. The MODIS sea ice product suite is created as a sequence of products beginning with a swath (scene) and progressing, through spatial and temporal transformations, to a daily global sea ice product. Each sea ice product in the sequence after the swath product assimilates accuracy and error from the preceding product. A user must understand how the accuracy and quality of a product is affected by the previous level(s) of input products. Distribution statistics from the DAAC reveal that the swath and daily tiled sea ice products are the most frequently queried and distributed of the sea ice products. Understanding the assimilation of accuracy and error between levels and through higher levels is necessary to make optimal use of the products. Description of assimilated error and how it affects the accuracy of the product is included in each product sectio
