ESA Sea Ice Climate Change Initiative (Sea_Ice_cci): Nimbus-5 ESMR Sea Ice Concentration, version 1.0

This dataset provides Sea Ice Concentration (SIC) for the polar regions, derived from the Nimbus-5 Electrical Scanning Microwave Radiometer (ESMR), which operated between 1972 and 1977. It is processed with an algorithm using the single channel ESMR data (19.35 GHz), and has been gridded at 25 km grid spacing. This is the first version of the product, v1.0. This product was generated in the context of the ESA Climate Change Initiative Programme (ESA CCI) by the Sea Ice CCI (Sea_Ice_cci) project.
