This record contains data related to the article "Satellite Remote Sensing of Wave-Affected Marginal Ice Zone in the Atlantic Arctic by Delay-Doppler Radar Altimetry of CryoSat-2". Wave-affected marginal ice zone 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 CryoSat-2. 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. This dataset includes the CS2 product, time, the location of the beginning and end of the marginal ice zone, and the swell significant wave height.
