obsSep2008: Observed sea ice September 2008

Description

The object observed is an binary matrix of dimension lon x lat that indicates whether sea ice concentration was at least 15%. The observations are from the monthly sea ice concentration obtained from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) satellites Nimbus-7 SMMR and DMSP SSM/I-SSMIS and processed by the bootstrap algorithm. The results are distributed by the National Snow and Ice Data Center (Comiso 2017).

Usage

Format

array of dimension of 2 years x 12 months x longitude x latitude
