Global Low Resolution Sea Ice Drift
Operational Near real time productIce motion vectors with a time span of 48 hours are estimated by an advanced cross-correlation method (the Continuous MCC, CMCC) on pairs of satellite images. Several single-sensor products are available, along with a merged (multi-sensor) dataset.

An new variable is introduced in the OSI-405-c NetCDF files : the product uncertainties. The new variable provides an uncertainty value (aka expected accuracy) for each grid location. In the case of OSI -405-c, the new variable holds the standard deviation of the uncertainty in the components of the ice drift displacement vectors.
