Sea Ice Concentration, NOAA/NSIDC Climate Data Record V4, Southern Hemisphere, 25km, Science Quality, 1978-Present, Monthly

This data set provides a passive microwave sea ice concentration climate data record (CDR) based on gridded brightness temperatures (TBs) from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) series of passive microwave radiometers: the Nimbus-7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR), the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) and the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS). The sea ice concentration CDR is an estimate of sea ice concentration that is produced by combining concentration estimates from two algorithms developed at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC): the NASA Team algorithm and the Bootstrap algorithm. The individual algorithms are used to process and combine brightness temperature data at National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). This product is designed to provide a consistent time series of sea ice concentrations (the fraction, or percentage, of ocean area covered by sea ice) from November 1978 to the present which spans the coverage of several passive microwave instruments. The data are gridded on the NSIDC polar stereographic grid with 25 x 25 km grid cells, and are available in Network Common Data Format (NetCDF) file format. Each file contains a variable with the CDR concentration values as well as variables that hold the NASA Team and Bootstrap concentrations for reference. Variables containing standard deviation, quality flags, and projection information are also included. Data are available from NSIDC via FTP see https://nsidc.org/data/G02202/versions/4/. Data are also distributed via the PolarWatch ERDDAP at https://polarwatch.noaa.gov/erddap. Note that the data format available through PolarWatch is different from the NSIDC FTP NetCDF files. The PolarWatch data server stores projection information as global attributes (with the prefix grid_mapping) instead of as a variable; and the timestamp is served in different units (seconds since 1970).

本数据集提供了一组基于国防气象卫星计划（DMSP）系列被动微波辐射计（包括Nimbus-7扫描多通道微波辐射计（SMMR）、特殊传感器微波成像仪（SSM/I）和特殊传感器微波成像仪/ sounding（SSMIS））栅格化亮度温度（TBs）的被动微波海冰浓度气候数据记录（CDR）。该海冰浓度CDR是通过结合美国宇航局戈达德空间飞行中心（GSFC）开发的两种算法（NASA团队算法和Bootstrap算法）的浓度估计而得出的。这些算法被用于处理和合并国家雪冰数据中心（NSIDC）的亮度温度数据。该产品旨在提供自1978年11月至今的连续海冰浓度时间序列（海洋面积被海冰覆盖的比例，即分数或百分比），时间跨度涵盖了多个被动微波仪器。数据以NSIDC极地圆锥投影网格（25 x 25公里网格单元）进行栅格化，并以网络通用数据格式（NetCDF）文件格式提供。每个文件包含一个变量，其中包含CDR浓度值，以及包含NASA团队和Bootstrap浓度以供参考的变量。还包含包含标准差、质量标志和投影信息的变量。数据可通过NSIDC通过FTP获取，网址为https://nsidc.org/data/G02202/versions/4/。数据还通过PolarWatch ERDDAP在https://polarwatch.noaa.gov/erddap提供。请注意，通过PolarWatch可用的数据格式与NSIDC FTP NetCDF文件不同。PolarWatch数据服务器将投影信息存储为全局属性（前缀为grid_mapping），而不是作为变量；时间戳以不同的单位（自1970年以来的秒数）提供。
