An Arctic sea ice concentration data record on a 6.25&thinsp;km polar stereographic grid from 3 years of Landsat-8 imagery by H.-S. Jung, S.-M. Lee, S.-M. Lee, J.-H. Kim, K. Lee

“…The coverage of Arctic sea ice (i.e. sea ice concentration (SIC)) has been monitored since 1972 using satellite passive microwave (PMW) measurements because of their extensive coverage and all-weather capability. However, the fundamental basis of algorithms for estimating SIC has not improved much since the early days due to the lack of reference SIC data, leading to discrepancies between existing PMW SIC algorithms. …”
