Description

This climate data record of sea ice age is obtained from sea ice drift and conentration OSI SAF products. The processing chain features:

1) Lagrangian advection of ice age fractions,

2) Weighted averaging of fractions.

The following SIC and SID products were used to produce the dataset:

  • Sea Ice Concentration Climate Data Record Version 3 (SMMR, SSM/I, and SSMIS) from the EUMETSAT OSI SAF, DOI: 10.15770/EUM_SAF_OSI_0013
  • Interim Sea Ice Concentration Climate Data Record Version 3 from the EUMETSAT OSI SAF, DOI:  10.15770/EUM_SAF_OSI_0014
  • Global Sea Ice Drift Climate Data Record Version 1 from the EUMETSAT OSI SAF, DOI: 10.15770/EUM SAF OSI 0012
  • Daily Low Resolution Sea Ice Displacement from OSI SAF EUMETSAT, DOI: 10.15770/EUM_SAF_OSI_NRT_2007
