    • Sea Ice Concentrations from Nimbus-7 SMMR and DMSP SSM/I-SSMIS Passive Microwave Data V002

    Metadata Updated: November 19, 2024

    This data set is generated from brightness temperature data and is designed to provide a consistent time series of sea ice concentrations spanning the coverage of several passive microwave instruments.The data are provided in the polar stereographic projection at a grid cell size of 25 x 25 km. Data coverage began on 26 October 1978 and is ongoing through the most current processing, with updated data processed several times annually.
