New data set release: ICESat L4 Seasonal Gridded Sea Ice Thickness, Version 1

The ICESat L4 Seasonal Gridded Sea Ice Thickness, Version 1 data set is now available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). This data set reports seasonal, gridded winter sea ice thickness across the Arctic Ocean. Sea ice thickness is estimated using ICESat/GLAS L3A Sea Ice Freeboard data and NASA Eulerian Snow On Sea Ice Model (NESOSIM) Version 1.1 snow loading.  Data were collected during 2-month campaigns throughout the time period from February 2003 through March 2008.  Data span the Arctic Ocean and its peripheral seas south of 86°N.
