Description
Summary:<p>This dataset contains dates relevant to sea ice movement including dates of initial ice retreat, final ice retreat, ice minimum, general ice minimum, ice minimum for the west of McMurdo Sound, ice minimum for the east of McMurdo Sound, and refreeze start.&nbsp; It also includes the minimum distance to the ice edge from McMurdo Station. &nbsp;</p> <p>Dates were derived from Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometers (MODIS) collected between 2003 and 2015 and Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer and Special Sensor Microwave Imager-family passive microwave sensors (SSM/I) imagery collected between 1978 and 2015.</p>
