NSIDC DAAC Releases New Sea Ice Age Data Set

The NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) is pleased to announce the release of the EASE-Grid Sea Ice Age data set. This data set provides weekly estimates of sea ice age for the Arctic Ocean from remotely sensed sea ice motion and sea ice extent beginning in November 1978. The ice age data are derived from a number of passive microwave imagers, visible and infrared radiometers, drifting buoys, and wind data.
