User Notice: Removal of Public Access of NOAA/NSIDC Climate Data Record of Passive Microwave 12.5 km Sea Ice Concentration, Beta Version 5

After some consideration, NOAA@NSIDC has decided to remove the beta release of the NOAA/NSIDC Climate Data Record of Passive Microwave 12.5 km Sea Ice Concentration, Version 5 data set from the public archive. This decision is due to inaccuracies and discontinuities in the older portion of the time series. We believe it is in the best interest of the user community that we resolve these issues first and then release a fully validated product. The Version 4 product will continue to be produced and is now listed as the most recent version. It should be used for all scientific analysis.
