Grid mask for EASE2 grid : application/x-netcdf Grid_Point_Mask_EASE2.nc

A netcdf file for the EASE2 grid with 8 grid masks :

  • USGS_Sea_Flag : Sea in the USGS Land-Sea mask (water fraction above 95%)
  • USGS_Land_Flag : Land in the USGS Land-Sea mask (water fraction below 10%)
  • USGS_Mixed_Flag : Mixed in the USGS Land-Sea mask (water fraction above 10% AND below 95%)
  • x200km_Coastal_flag : distance from the coast of less than 200 Km (using the MERIS uncertainty map with its coasts extended to 200km)
  • x100km_Coastal_flag : distance from the coast of less than 100 Km (using the MERIS uncertainty map with its coasts extended to 100km)
  • x40km_Coastal_flag : distance from thecoast of less than 40 Km (using the MERIS uncertainty map with its coasts extended to 40km)
  • Min_Sea_Ice_flag : full 12 months bit ICE set in the ice mask defined in the L2 AUX_DISTAN ADF
  • Max_Sea_Ice_flag : any 12 months bit ICE set in the ice mask defined in the L2 AUX_DISTAN ADF
