Baltic Sea Ice Analysis (1989-2019)

This study examines the dynamics of sea ice by utilizing daily sea ice fraction data obtained from satellites between 1989 and 2019 for the Baltic Sea area (21–30°E, 57–61°N). The raw data is transformed into various outputs, including annual and multi-year datasets, climatological overviews, and statistics on ice extent for specific regions such as the Gulf of Riga and Finland. Through this processing, the analysis offers valuable insights into the patterns of ice coverage both spatially and temporally.
