Reference dataset for sea ice concentration
Open accessAbstract
20190305: The 20190305 update (2.2.1) includes some updated CRREL-IMB based datafiles replacing a few empty files in the 20190207 version (2.2).20190207: Note that there was a bug in our reading of the accumulated ERA-I fields in the original dataset. For time series analysis (CRREL-IMB and OIB-backtrack), please use the ERAreruns dataset now also available here.In version 2.2 (2019-02-07) of the dataset and manual, this issue has been described and corrected. We recommend that all users use version 2.2. The RRDP is a set of comma separated ASCII files which contain reference sea ice concentrations and/or other relevant data and co-located NWP data from ERA-Interim, satellite Brightness Temperatures (TBs) extracted from the AMSR-E/AMSR2 swath datasets, ASCAT, QuikSCAT, SMOS and SMAP data to be used to for ice concentration calculations and evaluations. The dataset is easy to use by reading the files line by line, calculate Sea Ice Concentration from the given TBs and compare with the given reference SIC.

The ice curve in Fig. 3 is fitted through consolidated ice points from the ESA CCI Sea Ice RRDP that spans several years and winter months and thus illustrates an average sea-ice curve.
“In addition, the ice curve in Fig. 3 is fitted through the consolidated ice points from the ESA CCI Sea Ice RRDP (Pedersen et al., 2018) that spans several years and winter months and thus illustrates an average sea-ice curve.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
