Unified Sea Ice Thickness Climate Data Record, 1947 Onward, Version 1

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
The Unified Sea Ice Thickness Climate Data Record, 1947 Onward is the result of a concerted effort to collect as many observations as possible of Arctic and Antarctic sea ice draft, freeboard, and thickness and to format them consistently with clear documentation, allowing the scientific community to better utilize what is now a considerable body of observations.
