Release of OSI SAF monthly-mean sea-ice concentration CDR/ICDR
The OSI SAF sea ice team is pleased to announce the first-time release of monthly-mean sea-ice concentration product files as part of our climate data records. These monthly-mean files are computed from the daily files of OSI-450-a and OSI-430-a (the latest sea-ice concentration CDR and ICDR, version 3).
Users can find the new monthly files for the period Oct 1978 to Dec 2020:
- on the OSI SAF HL THREDDS server : https://thredds.met.no/thredds/catalog/osisaf/met.no/reprocessed/ice/conc_450a_files/monthly/catalog.html
- at the OSI SAF HL FTP : ftp://osisaf.met.no/reprocessed/ice/conc/v3p0/monthly
Timely updates of monthly SIC files from Jan 2021 onwards are available:
- on the OSI SAF HL THREDDS server : https://thredds.met.no/thredds/catalog/osisaf/met.no/reprocessed/ice/conc_cra_files/monthly/catalog.html
- at the OSI SAF HL FTP : ftp://osisaf.met.no/reprocessed/ice/conc-cont-reproc/v3p0/monthly
The content of the monthly files are documented in the Product User Manual (PUM) accessible from https://osi-saf.eumetsat.int/products/osi-450-a. Note that the following months are missing because of missing satellite input data: 1978-10, 1986-04, 1986-05, 1986-06, and 1987-12.
