Data set update: ICESat-2 L4 Monthly Gridded Sea Ice Thickness, Version 2

The temporal coverage for the ICESat-2 L4 Monthly Gridded Sea Ice Thickness, Version 2 (IS2SITMOGR4) data set, accessible through the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC), has been extended to include data for September 2021 to March 2022.  This data set reports monthly, gridded winter sea ice thickness across the Arctic Ocean. Sea ice thickness is estimated using ATLAS/ICESat-2 L3A Sea Ice Freeboard (ATL10), Version 4 data and NASA Eulerian Snow On Sea Ice Model (NESOSIM) snow loading.  The temporal coverage now spans 1 November 2018 to 31 March 2022.
