Sea Ice Data

This data is from the NSIDC NEAR REAL-TIME DMSP SSM/I DAILY POLAR GRIDDED SEA ICE CONCENTRATIONS dataset

Data has been interpolated to a lat/lon .25deg by .25deg grid extending from 55N to 80N and 50W to 0W

For each day of the field program, there is:
1)a matlab file sea_ice_2007_mxx_dyy.mat that contains the sea ice concentration field and that lats and longs of the data
2)an ascii file sea_ice_2007_mxx_dyy.dat that contains a 101*201 matrix of sea ice concentrations (bad/land datapoints=-999)
3) an image file sea_ice_2007_mxx_dyy.jpg

There are 2 additional text files lat.dat & lon.dat that contain the lats and longs of the data

For additional info, please contact Kent Moore gwk.moore@utoronto.ca
Please note that there are occasional bad data points over the open water/sea ice. They are usually the result of precipitation.
