| Tool Name | disp_bootstrap_ice_xa.pro |
|---|---|
| Applicable Data Sets | Bootstrap Sea Ice Concentrations from Nimbus-7 SMMR and DMSP SSM/I |
| Description | IDL program that will automatically display animations of the sea ice concentration grids. The routine works on both the daily and monthly sea ice files and allows users to display sea ice concentrations. For monthly data, users may select which image threshold to view (0, 5, 10, or 15% ice cut off). |

| Tool Name | showice.m |
|---|---|
| Applicable Data Sets | Sea Ice Concentrations from Nimbus-7 SMMR and DMSP SSM/I Passive Microwave Data
Near Real-Time DMSP SSM/I Daily Polar Gridded Sea Ice Concentrations |
| Description | A Matlab program that displays an image of the sea ice concentration grids in either of two color scales. |
| Access | FTP |
| Tool Name | showice.pro |
|---|---|
| Applicable Data Sets | DMSP SSM/I Daily and Monthly Polar Gridded Sea Ice Concentrations |
| Description | IDL program that automatically displays images of the sea ice concentration grids of the GIF browse files. Note: This program is somewhat outdated and only works with IDL Versions 5.4 and lower since versions of IDL higher than 5.4 do not support reading or writing GIF images. Users who do not have access to IDL Version 5.4 and lower should use another method for viewing the GIF files such as a simple image editor or Web browser. |
