20211111: The dataset has been augmented with SIC0 (open water) and SIC1 (total ice cover) data from 2016-2019. Version 3 constitutes the entire v2.2.1 dataset and these new 2016-19 files.20190305: The 20190305 update (2.2.1) includes some updated CRREL-IMB based datafiles replacing a few empty files in the 20190207 version (2.2).20190207: Note that there was a bug in our reading of the accumulated ERA-I fields in the original dataset. For time series analysis (CRREL-IMB and OIB-backtrack), please use the ERAreruns dataset now also available here.In version 2.2 (2019-02-07) of the dataset and manual, this issue has been described and corrected. We recommend that all users use version 2.2. The RRDP is a set of comma separated ASCII files which contain reference sea ice concentrations and/or other relevant data and co-located NWP data from ERA-Interim, satellite Brightness Temperatures (TBs) extracted from the AMSR-E/AMSR2 swath datasets, ASCAT, QuikSCAT, SMOS and SMAP data to be used to for ice concentration ...
