Field Observations and Operational Charts of Sea Ice Data
Sea ice products on this page all come from field observations and sea ice charts along with some data sets that incorporate satellite data. Data sets include sea ice charts, sea ice drift and velocity, sea ice concentration and extent, sea ice thickness, sea ice age, and others from ships, buoys, upward-looking sonar, and manned research stations.
For sea ice products derived from passive microwave sensors, or from visible and infrared sensors, refer to:
