The SAR Freeze/Thaw product indicates the timing (day of year) of ground surface freeze-up and thawing at a resolution of 1 km. It is derived from the ENVISAT ASAR sensor operating in Global Monitoring (GM) mode. The SAR F/T product represents timing (day of year) of ground surface freeze-up and thawing at a resolution of 1 km. The version 2 release of the data covers the years 2005 through 2010 for the regional sites Ob Estuary, Alaska, Mackenzie, Laptev Sea Coast and Central Yakutia.
