Description

This data set reports monthly, gridded winter sea ice thickness across the Arctic Ocean. Sea ice thickness is estimated using ATLAS/ICESat-2 L3A Sea Ice Freeboard (ATL10) Version 6 data and NASA Eulerian Snow On Sea Ice Model (NESOSIM) snow loading.

Version Description

Version 3 of this data set uses freeboard data from ATLAS/ICESat-2 L3A Sea Ice Freeboard (ATL10) Version 6. The code has minor bug fixes and updates as well as additional variables.
