More horrible science news...

"The NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) learned yesterday that the Department of Defense (DoD) will stop processing and delivering the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) data no later than 30 June 2025."

@ZLabe I don’t understand what this means or why it is important.
@rednikki I just added a follow-up post, which hopefully helps a bit. Effectively, they are removing the key data for polar climate monitoring.
@ZLabe Ah, got it. Thank you for the context!
