Description

This product is monthly Ice Cover Statistics. The dataset was prepared by Dr. Peter Romanov at Cooperative Institute for Climate Studies(CICS) of the University of Maryland for Northern Eurasia Earth Science Partnership Initiative (NEESPI) program.

The product includes the monthly ice statistics (frequency of occurrence) for Northern Hemisphere at 1x1 degree spatial resolution. The dataset covers the time period starting January 2000 to November 2014.

The data was derived from daily ice cover charts produced at NOAA/NESDIS within Interactive Multisensor Ice Mapping System (IMS).
