Time series from 1982-2008 for analysis presented in Bhatt et al. 2010. The data text files are tab delimited and column names identify the variable and the Treshnikov region (See Figure 2 for reference). 1) file: Fig02.tiff Figure 2 from Bhatt et al. 2010 outlines the Treshnikov regions 50-km coastal and full tundra zones. 2) file: 50km_series.txt 50-km series contains time series of spring sea ice concentration, summer warmth index (SWI), MaxNDVI and TI-NDVI for various Treshnikov regions. 3) file: fulltundra_series.txt Full tundra time series of spring sea ice concentration (100km ocean region), SWI, MaxNDVI and TI-NDVI for various Treshnikov regions.
