Terra/Aqua MODIS: Snow Cover and Sea Ice Surface Temperature
This animation shows MODIS daily measurements of both snow cover and sea ice surface temperature in the Northern Hemisphere for the winter of 2002-2003. MODIS can only take measurements in daylight, so measurements during the polar winter night are taken from the last valid measurement.

MODIS snow cover and sea ice surface temperature in the Northern Hemisphere from September 1, 2002 through May 31, 2003.    MODIS snow cover and sea ice surface temperature in the Northern Hemisphere from September 1, 2002 through May 31, 2003.
