Early EASE-GRID Sea Ice Age, 1978-1983
Early spin-up period Arctic sea ice age data for 1978 through 1983. This product augments the NSIDC sea ice age product: "EASE-Grid Sea Ice Age, Version 4.1" (Tschudi et al., 2019a), which begins in January 1984. See the main product website for complete documentation. The age is estimated...

This product augments the NSIDC sea ice age product: "EASE-Grid Sea Ice Age, Version 4.1" (Tschudi et al., 2019a), which begins in January 1984. See the main product website for complete documentation. The age is estimated via Lagrangrian tracking based on the NSIDC sea ice motion product (Tschudi et al., 2019b), whose source data is primarily passive microwave brightness temperatures and drifting buoys. Age is estimated weekly as annual age categories. Values are: 1 for "first-year ice", ice that is 0-1 years old, and so on for older ice. The ice is "aged" once each year during the week of the annual sea ice minimum extent, generally sometime in September. In this product, the initialization of the field begins with the first available data in late-October 1978. For the existing ice at that time, age is initialized at the start of the product with age=1. The first week of the data, because it is after the minimum, the age of existing ice is augmented to age=2 and new ice is given age=1. So, the first field in 1978 has only two age categories of 1 (0-1 years old) or 2 (1-2 years old) and this continues through 1978. This means that the age of the ice that formed between the minimum in September and the beginning of the data in late-October 1978 is overestimated by one year. In subsequent years, the oldest ice category will continue to overestimate some of the ice pack until that initial ice either: (1) melts, (2) is transported out of the Arctic, or (3) reaches the maximum age in the product (16 years). Much of the the existing ice in 1978 may be older than 1-2 years old as ice may stay in the Arctic for 5 or more years, but the data availability and the Lagrangian methodology cannot give a specific until the product is fully "spun up". For each subsequent year, a one-year older age category is added in the week of each year's extent minimum. Note that due to the assumption made at the beginning of the product in 1978, the oldest ice category ... Dataset Arctic ice pack Sea ice The Cryosphere Zenodo Arctic |
