NASA IceBridge Sea Ice Freeboard, Snow Depth, and Thickness data for 2010 Greenland are now available from NSIDC. See the IceBridge Sea Ice Freeboard, Snow Depth, and Thickness Web page at https://nsidc.org/data/idcsi2 for more information.
NASA IceBridge HiCARS 1 Level-2 Geolocated Ice Thickness replacement data for 2009 Antarctica are now available from NSIDC. On July 23, 2012, Version 01 2009 Antarctica data were replaced by Version 01.1. The V01.1 2009 Antarctica data are re-organized, and include aircraft orientation and surface and bed reflection coefficient information not contained in the V01 data. For documentation, and to access data, see the IceBridge HiCARS 1 L2 Geolocated Ice Thickness catalog page.

The NOAA@NSIDC Climate Data Record of Passive Microwave Sea Ice Concentration data set, released in late 2011 at a daily resolution, has now been processed to include a monthly averaged version of its sea ice climatology. This sea ice CDR was created in cooperation with NOAA@NSIDC's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). To access the data and see the documentation, see the NOAA@NSIDC Climate Data Record of Passive Microwave Sea Ice Concentration catalog page.
This data set provides a coastline history of the eastern Amundsen Sea Embayment and terminus histories of its outlet glaciers derived from those coastlines. These outlet glaciers include Smith, Haynes, Thwaites, and Pine Island Glaciers. The coastlines were derived from detailed tracing of Landsat imagery between late 1972 and late 2011 (at a scale of 1:50,000). The data set also uses some additional data from other sources. The terminus histories are calculated as the intersections between these coastlines and 1996 flowlines.
