Sea Ice Concentration Data Reprocessed from SMMR and SSM/I, Version 1
Data set id:
NSIDC-0684

Overview

Ice concentration is computed from atmospherically corrected SSMR and SSM/I brightness temperatures, using a combination of state-of-the-art algorithms and dynamic tie-points. The data set includes error-bars for each grid cell (uncertainties).
