Unified Sea Ice Thickness Climate Data Record Updated

NOAA@NSIDC is pleased to announce that the Unified Sea Ice Thickness Climate Data Record, 1947 Onward has been updated with data through 01 January 2017 and now also contains Antarctic data. This climate data record is the result of a concerted effort to collect as many observations as possible of Arctic and Antarctic sea ice draft, freeboard, and thickness and to format them consistently with clear documentation, allowing the scientific community to better utilize what is now a considerable body of observations. Thanks to Axel Schweiger and Ron Lindsay of the Polar Science Center Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington for supplying these data. Data Set DOI: https://doi.org/10.7265/N5D50JXV
