Monthly Arctic and Antarctic Sea Ice Concentration Grids
d233000
Abstract:
Monthly time series of Arctic and Antarctic sea ice concentrations have been derived from a variety of sources. The polar-stereographic grids have a 60 nautical mile resolution.
Temporal Range:
1901 to 1995
Variables:
| Ice Extent |
Vertical Levels:
| Ground or water surface |
Temporal Frequencies:
Every month (Mean)
Data Types:
Grid
Spatial Coverage:
Longitude Range: Westernmost=180W Easternmost=180E

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
