| File Content: |
Daily and monthly flat, binary data files for each polar region. |
|---|---|
| File Format: | 300-byte descriptive header followed by a two-dimensional array of one-byte, unsigned integers. |
| Projection: |
Polar Stereographic projection for North and South Polar grids. |
| Grid Resolution: | 25.0 km |
| Array: |
Northern Hemisphere: 448 rows by 304 columns |
| Precision of Value: |
Percent Sea Ice Fraction: 0.1% |
| Scaling factor: | Sea ice concentration values are packed into byte format by multiplying the original sea ice concentration floating-point values (ranging from 0.0 to 1.0) by a scaling factor of 250. Thus a sea ice concentration value of 0% (0.0) maps to a byte value of 0 and a sea ice concentration value of 100% (1.0) maps to a value of 250. To revert back to the original range of 0.0 to 1.0, divide the scaled sea ice concentrations by 250.0. |
