COSIMA Working Group Reference Datasets FY23-24

NSIDC Sea Ice Concentration

Climate Data Record, Daily 25km.

Contact is Walt Meier, NSIDC.

This is the most relevant long(ish) term dataset of sea ice for model evaluation. Data storage ~5GB for both poles.

This is available as a Tier 3 (Licensing restrictions) dataset for ESMValTool and ILAMB. I need to figure out how to make it available to the community. I am planning to create a CF-compliant version that can be ingested by ESMValTool and ILAMB.
