Data set update: NRT NOAA/NSIDC Sea Ice Concentration CDR Version 2

The 01 January through 31 May 2022 data for the Near-Real-Time NOAA/NSIDC Climate Data Record of Passive Microwave Sea Ice Concentration, Version 2 data set, accessible through the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) have been removed. This data set provides a near-real-time (NRT) Climate Data Record (CDR) of sea ice concentration from passive microwave data. The 2022 data have been removed because the final version of this data set, NOAA/NSIDC Climate Data Record of Passive Microwave Sea Ice Concentration, Version 4, has been updated to include the time period of 01 January 2022 through 31 May 2022.

If you have 2022 NRT CDR data, we suggest that you download and replace it with the 2022 final processed version of this data set which can be accessed from the data set web page at the NSIDC: https://nsidc.org/data/g02202/.

Access to the NRT CDR 2022 data and documentation is provided on the data set web page at the NSIDC: https://nsidc.org/data/g10016/.
