This dataset relates to long-term change and variability in annual timings of sea ice advance, retreat and resultant ice season duration in East Antarctica derived from the satellite passive-microwave time series dating back to Nimbus 7. These were calculated from satellite-derived ice concentration data for the period 1979/80 to 2009/10. The dataset includes more detailed analysis of change and variability in sea ice conditions along meridional transects i.e., 110 degrees E and 140 degrees E relating to sea ice concentration and extent, and along 90 deg E, 100 deg E, 110 deg E and 140 deg E for trends in sea ice concentration for the period 1979-2010. Also included are monthly sea-surface temperature (SST) trends mapped north of the East Antarctic sea-ice zone for the period 1982-2010. The SST data are from the Reynolds and Smith OLv2 dataset. These data form the basis of the publication: Massom, R.A., P. Reid, S. Stammerjohn, B. Raymond, A. Fraser and S. Ushio. 2013.
