DMS images were acquired in July, 2016 and 2017. For each image, meaningful geophysical parameters have been derived: melt pond fraction, sea ice concentration, and pond color fraction. Melt pond fraction is the percentage of the sea ice surface that is ponded. Sea ice concentration is the percentage of ocean covered by sea ice. Pond color fraction is the partitioning of dark, medium, and light color ponds as a percentage of total ponded area. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0209246 Preview graphic PNG 0209246 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2020-05-04 publication ICE ICE - COVERAGE LATITUDE LONGITUDE theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS GPS instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS model output theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS University of Maryland, College Park dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Arctic Ocean Lincoln Sea place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > SEA ICE EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > SEA ICE > ICE EXTENT theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
