Description

This data set contains reprocessed images depicting labels that indicate the sea ice surface category, created by processing IceBridge DMS L0 Raw Imagery with the Open Source Sea-ice Processing Algorithm. The images are provided as TIFF files (.tif). Additional metadata are provided as CSV text files (.csv), which are available as a single zip file named RDSISC4_metadata.zip. An orthorectified version of this data set is available as IceBridge-Related DMS-Derived L4 Sea Ice Surface Cover Classification Orthorectified Images.
