Since 2012 the IceBridge project has released experimental quick look
sea ice thickness data to aid in seasonal sea ice forecasting and other
time-sensitive projects. New data for the 2015 spring season in the
Arctic are now available via NSIDC. Two data products are available:
1) High-resolution sea ice thickness, snow depth, and ancillary data
products from the Operation IceBridge spring campaign.
2) A basin-wide sea ice thickness and snow depth data set utilizing data
from CryoSat-2, IceBridge, and MERRA reanalysis.
In an effort to increase transparency in the derived basin-wide Arctic
sea ice thickness data set, NSIDC has also provided full resolution
retrievals of surface elevation from CryoSat-2 data, which are used to
produce the monthly mean 25 km gridded data.
Within a few months the quick look product will be replaced by the
archival version, which will be available at
http://nsidc.org/data/idcsi2.html.
