Abstract: This data set comprises time series of the monthly sea-ice area (SIA) in the Northern Hemisphere (1 file) and in the Southern Hemisphere (1 file). SIA is derived from sea-ice concentration (SIC, also sea-ice area fraction) data of the following products: Walsh (version 2, only Northern Hemisphere), OSI SAF OSI-450a SIC climate data record / OSI-430a SIC interim climate data record, ESA-CCI+ phase 1 Higher Resolution SIC climate data record (Lavergne et al., 2023), HadISST (version 2), NASA-Team and Comiso-Bootstrap - both from the NOAA/NSIDC SIC climate data record (version 4.0). The monthly SIA is either directly computed from monthly SIC data or is derived as the mean of all daily SIA values. If required, the observational gap at the pole is interpolated. If required, temporal interpolation is applied - both to fill temporal (up to a maximum of 7 consecutive days) and spatial (if less than 1000 non-contiguous missing grid cells per day) gaps.
