L3_FT_A
The Calibration and Validation Version 2 Release of the Level 3 Daily Global Composite Freeze/Thaw State Science Processing Software.
Daily global composite of up-to 30 half-orbit L2_FT_A binary freeze/thaw state based on radar backscatter measurements by the SMAP radar during descending and ascending half-orbits at approximately 6 AM or 6 PM local solar time, respectively.
The L3_FT_A product provides daily estimates of binary freeze-thaw state, retrieved from backscatter measurements acquired by the SMAP radar, using a seasonal change-detection algorithm. Data from both AM (descending) and PM (ascending) high-resolution radar coverage are gridded at 3km resolution on a boreal polar grid at 3 km resolution. AM/PM transition flags indicate changes in freeze-thaw state between morning and evening observations.
The software that generates the Level 3 FT_A product and the data system that automates its production were designed and implemented at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California.

geoscientificInformation
Data product generated by the SMAP mission in HDF5 format with metadata that conforms to the ISO 19115 model.
Freeze-thaw binary state is retrieved from high-resolution radar data on both descending (AM, fore/aft) and ascending (PM, fore-only) SMAP half-orbits. The L3_FT_A product includes only data northward of 45N latitude. Freeze-thaw state retrieval is inhibited for areas with permanent snow/ice and excessive static or transient open water in the cell, and when there is excessive RFI in the sensor data. Retrievals may be flagged as questionable for urban areas, mountainous areas with high elevation variability, and for cells in which the seasonal (thawed-frozen) reference difference is much smaller than the radar measurement error.

Freeze-thaw state retrieved from backscatter measurements acquired by the SMAP radar, using a seasonal change-detection algorithm. A given measurement is compared to seasonal reference states for frozen and thawed conditions; measurements falling below the threshold are considered to represent frozen states, and measurements exceeding the threshold are considered to represent thawed states.

The SMAP observatory houses an L-band radiometer that operates at 1.414 GHz and an L-band radar that operates at 1.225 GHz. The instruments share a rotating reflector antenna with a 6 meter aperture that scans over a 1000 km swath. The bus is a 3 axis stabilized spacecraft that provides momentum compensation for the rotating antenna.

The Calibration and Validation Version 2 Release of the Level 3 Daily Global Composite Freeze/Thaw State Science Processing Software.
Daily global composite of up-to 30 half-orbit L2_FT_A binary freeze/thaw state based on radar backscatter measurements by the SMAP radar during descending and ascending half-orbits at approximately 6 AM or 6 PM local solar time, respectively.
The SMAP L3_FT_A algorithm provides daily global composite of freeze/thaw state based on synthetic-aperture radar data on a 3 km grid.
The software that generates the Level 3 Freeze/Thaw product and the data system that automates its production were designed and implemented
at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California.

geoscientificInformation
Data product generated by the SMAP mission in HDF5 format with metadata that conforms to the ISO 19115 model.
Freeze-thaw binary state is retrieved from high-resolution radar data on both descending (AM, fore/aft)
and ascending (PM, fore-only) SMAP half-orbits. The L3_FT_A product includes only data northward of 45N latitude.
Freeze-thaw state retrieval is inhibited for areas with permanent snow/ice and excessive static or transient open water in the cell,
and when there is excessive RFI in the sensor data. Retrievals may be flagged as questionable for urban areas,
mountainous areas with high elevation variability, and for cells in which the seasonal (thawed-frozen) reference
difference is much smaller than the radar measurement error.
