NOAA/NSIDC Climate Data Record of Passive Microwave Sea Ice Concentration, Version 6
Listed in NASA Data Portal
This data set provides a Climate Data Record (CDR) of sea ice concentration from passive microwave data.
Description
The CDR algorithm output is a rule-based combination of ice concentration estimates from two well-established algorithms: the NASA Team (NT) algorithm (Cavalieri et al. 1984) and NASA Bootstrap (BT) algorithm (Comiso 1986). The CDR is a consistent, daily and monthly time series of sea ice concentrations from 25 October 1978 through the most recent processing for both the north and south polar regions.
All data are on a 25 km x 25 km grid.

Note
A near-real-time version of this data set also exists to fill the gap between the time that this data set is updated through to the present. The data set is called the Near-Real-Time NOAA/NSIDC Climate Data Record of Passive Microwave Sea Ice Concentration (nsidc.org/data/g10016).
