Monthly Arctic Sea Ice

Year: 2026

Type: dataset

Abstract: This data set contains sea ice extent at the end of each month, January 1973 - December 1982. The charts are digitized on a 1 degree latitude by 2.5 degree longitude grid. The sea ice was computed for 10 degree longitude "slices" with aerial extent stored in the data set for each of 36 longitude sectors for each month. Ice area is expressed in units of 1000 square kilometers. Deposited content: descriptive metadata only; underlying research data are not included.
