ESA-CCI sea ice concentration product licence
Data lineage Data were processed by the ESA CCI Sea Ice project team.
Contribution of the EUMETSAT OSI SAF to the production of this dataset is acknowledged. EUMETSAT OSI SAF provided access and allowed re-use of its SIC reprocessing software and data hosting facilities. The reprocessing chain was further updated with the new algorithms and knowledge from the ESA CCI Sea Ice project.
This dataset is originally published on the CCI Data Portal.
