The map is derived from a composite of satellite imagery with a spatial resolution of 500 meters/pixel. Land imagery was gathered by NASA''s MODIS satellite instrumentation (August 2004). Polar sea ice is based on a combination of MODIS data and observations made by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration''s AVHRR sensor (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer).
