GHRC SSM/I Subsetter

This site allows you to select data from our current on-line 10-day holdings of SSM/I swath data. Each day contains 28 or 29 passes (or swaths.) After selecting a region of interest and the desired dates, the pass files containing data in your region of interest will be staged to an anonymous ftp location for you to "pick-up" within the next 4 days.
Note that if you choose "the tropics" (all longitudes) - you will still receive all 28 (or 29) passes. In other words - that's not really subsetting!

IMPORTANT: For subsetting requests of data prior to the last 10 days - contact GHRC User Services
