Dates of sea ice movement and sea ice distance in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica from MODIS and SSMI imagery between 1978-2015

<p>This dataset contains dates relevant to sea ice movement including dates of initial ice retreat, final ice retreat, ice minimum, general ice minimum, ice minimum for the west of McMurdo Sound, ice minimum for the east of McMurdo Sound, and refreeze start.&nbsp; It also includes the minimum distance to the ice edge from McMurdo Station. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Dates were derived from Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometers (MODIS) collected between 2003 and 2015 and Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer and Special Sensor Microwave Imager-family passive microwave sensors (SSM/I) imagery collected between 1978 and 2015.</p>

本数据集收录与海冰运动相关的日期数据，包括海冰初始消融日期、最终消融日期、海冰最小值日期、全域海冰最小值日期、麦克默多湾（McMurdo Sound）西侧海冰最小值日期、麦克默多湾东侧海冰最小值日期以及海冰重新冻结起始日期。此外，数据集还包含麦克默多站（McMurdo Station）至海冰冰缘的最小距离数据。
所用日期数据源自2003年至2015年间采集的中分辨率成像光谱仪（Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometers，MODIS）影像，以及1978年至2015年间采集的扫描多通道微波辐射计与专用传感器微波成像仪系列被动微波传感器（SSM/I）影像数据。
