The grids are daily, daily ascending, and daily descending averages. The AMSR-E/Aqua Level-2A swath product includes brightness temperatures at 6.9 GHz, 10.7 GHz, 18.7 GHz, 23.8 GHz, 36.5 GHz, and 89.0 GHz resampled at resolutions of 56 km, 38 km, 21 km, 12 km, and 5.4 km.

For each grid cell, TBs observed over a 24-hour period (midnight to midnight GMT) are summed and then divided by the number of observations to obtain a daily average TB. The daily ascending and daily descending averages are calculated similarly. The AMSR-E/Aqua Level-3 6.25 km daily sea ice product includes 89.0 GHz brightness temperature averages (daily, ascending, and descending) on a 6.25 km polar stereographic grid, generated by the NT2 algorithm using Level-2A TBs. This validated version includes an updated Southern Hemisphere sea ice mask derived from National Ice Center data (June 2011) and updated flags correlating with the new mask.
