The dataset shows the relative lead frequencies around Antarctica for the months April-September, 2003-2018. The dataset is based on the MOD/MYD 29 Ice Surface Temperatures (NSIDC, Riggs and Hall (2015), see doi:10.5067/MODIS/MYD29.006 and doi:10.5067/MODIS/MOD29.006). By applying the algorithms int...
