AMSR-E Data at NSIDC: Tools

The following tools are available to help you work with AMSR-E data:

AMSR-E Swath to Grid Toolkit (AS2GT): Use this suite of software tools to subset and grid Level-1B and Level-2A AMSR-E swath data. These tools make it easy to process data into custom grids with any temporal or spatial resolution. AS2GT is not a standalone toolkit, but is part of the NSIDC Passive Microwave Swath Data Tools (PMSDT). When you download the software, you get AS2GT as part of the larger package that will also allow you to work with some forms of SSM/I and SMMR data. For help, please contact NSIDC User Services.
Fortran readers for Level-2B rain data (AE_Rain) are available from NSIDC User Services.
Hierarchical Data Format - Earth Observing System (HDF-EOS): NSIDC created this site to answer common questions about HDF-EOS and to provide simple methods for working with the HDF-EOS format. Tools are provided to convert from HDF-EOS to binary, and to dump HDF metadata into ASCII text.
Land masks: AMSR-E land masks incorporated into the 6.25, 12.5, and 25 km resolution sea ice products are available as separate arrays in HDF format at each resolution. The land masks are in a polar stereographic projection.
