Progress Code: onGoing This dataset contains multiple variables with spatio-temporal information relating to sea-ice and the southern ocean. This collection of data is utilised by the nilas.org platform for dynamically visualising these variables in the web browser. Together they provide a valuable resource for understanding the interactions between physical, climate and biogeochemical parameters. These include variables to understand sea-ice in three dimensions, chlorophyll and sea surface temperature. The time range of these data covers from 1980 until the present and the spatial coverage is Antarctic circumpolar. Name: Daily Sea Ice Concentration Desc: Sea ice concentration is a measure of the amount of size ice over an area. It is calculated from satellite observations of sea ice for all areas adjacent the Antarctic coastline. The minimum area of sea ice naturally occurs in February and the maximum in September. Product: ARTIST (ASI 5) (Spreen et al. 2008) Source: Universität Bremen Resolution: 6.125 km nominal Timeframe: 2012 to present Notes: Concentrations of less than 15% have been removed. Name: Monthly Sea Ice Concentration Desc: Sea ice concentration is a measure of the amount of size ice over an area. It is calculated from satellite observations of sea ice for all areas adjacent the Antarctic coastline. The minimum area of sea ice naturally occurs in February and the maximum in September. Product: Sea Ice Index (Windnagel et al. 2017) Source: NSIDC (National Snow and Ice Data Center) Resolution: 25 km nominal Timeframe: 1980 to present Notes: Concentrations of less than 15% have been removed. Name: Monthly Anomalies in Sea Ice Concentration Desc: Anomalies in sea ice concentration show the monthly variation from the long term mean. Product: Climate Data Record and Near Real-Time Sea Ice Concentration (Windnagel et al. 2021) Source: NSIDC (National Snow and Ice Data Center) Resolution: 25km nominal Timeframe: 1980 to present Notes: Anomalies are calculated as the difference between the sea ice ...
