Description
SICE v3.0. 0.5 km Arctic land ice SSA, broadband albedo and spectral reflectance for 2017 to 2023

Timespan

1 April, to 31 September for each year 2017 to 2023 and is being updated starting ~April each year

Description

For Greenland, 0.5km daily data (Table 1) from the pySICE v2.1 algorithm, see Bahbah et al (2023) and Kokhanovsky et al (2023) for details. Broadband albedo "albedo_bb_planar_sw" is after Kokhanovsky et al (2019). "BBA_combination" is albedo_bb_planar_sw for albedo_bb_planar_sw values above 0.565 and is combined with an ampirical albedo for albedo_bb_planar_sw below or equal to 0.565, see Wehrlé et al (2021). Data format is GeoTiff in the EPSG:3413 - WGS 84 / NSIDC Sea Ice Polar Stereographic North. We suggest using rasterio to read the data files. The data are also available from https://thredds.geus.dk/

Data Format

Data format is GeoTiff in the EPSG:3413 - WGS 84 / NSIDC Sea Ice Polar Stereographic North projection.
