The Data Access Tool developed by NASA's National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) is a simple web-based tool that can be used to search and filter data files for NSIDC DAAC datasets using a map-based interface. Use the tool to filter files before downloading based on date, spatial area, or file name; choose from various download options, such as Python script; and export bounding boxes as a GeoJSON.

Once you've made your selection, there are multiple options for accessing the data you have selected.
