This record contains data related to article "A 12-Year Climate Record of Wintertime Wave-Affected Marginal Ice Zones in the Atlantic Arctic based on CryoSat-2 ". Wave-affected marginal ice zone (MIZ) is an integral part of the sea ice cover, and a key region for air-ice-sea interactions in polar regions. We develop a novel retrieval algorithm for wave-affected MIZs based on the delay-Doppler radar altimeter onboard CryoSat-2 (CS2). CS2 waveform power and the waveform stack statistics are used to determine the MIZ locations. Based on the CS2 data since 2010, we generate a record of wave-affected MIZs in the Atlantic Arctic, spanning 12 winters between 2010 and 2022. The dataset contains two parts. First, the txt file contains retrieved MIZ locations obtained from each single track. Each column of data is represented by the corresponding CS2 product name, year, month, day, hour, regional flag (1:GS region,2:NS region,3:BS region), the start longitude and latitude of the marginal ice zone on each track, the ...
