Sea ice
Where the ocean is frozen, as a daily ice / no-ice mask.
What it shows
Where the ocean is frozen, as a daily ice / no-ice mask. Terra, Aqua and NOAA-20 cross the poles at different times, so switching sensors gives a second look at the same day. The date scrubber shows the ice edge moving week by week.
Where the data comes from
NASA EOSDIS GIBS: MODIS Terra and Aqua sea ice, VIIRS NOAA-20 sea ice; daily.
Reading the map
No colour scale: sea ice is drawn as a mask. Cloud can read as missing data.
Units Ice or no ice (a mask, not concentration).
