Simulated 12-Month Ice Parcel Tracks from Gridded Sea Ice Motion, Version 1

Description

This data set provides tracer parcels to simulate sea ice advection paths in the Northern Hemisphere combined with sea ice concentration data. Sea ice parcels are identified in 25 km grid cells where sea ice concentrations are greater than 15% and tracked daily using Polar Pathfinder Daily 25 km EASE-Grid Sea Ice Motion Vectors (NSIDC-0116). Locations are updated weekly to determine whether an ice parcel has melted and should be tracked. Columns represent the EASE-grid x, y, and sea ice concentration values for each week over the 12 month tracking period and rows depict distinct simulated ice parcels.
