Arctic sea ice data set inter-comparison and new resource available

From post by David Schneider on the CRYOLIST

The new Climate Data Guide at The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) may be of interest when it comes to the Arctic sea ice.The Guide aims to gather knowledge on the strengths and limitations of numerous climate data sets, including sea ice concentration. Each page has a comments section at the bottom for more informal tidbits. Contributions can be made here https://climatedataguide.ucar.edu/contribute. Sea ice is just one of many topics among, for instance, the performance of various renalyses in the polar regions.

A side benefit of gathering these data sets has been the development of one of the more searchable (IMHO) data sites. See https://climatedataguide.ucar.edu/guidance/sea-ice-concentration-overview-and-comparison-tables#Table for specific sea ice information, or https://climatedataguide.ucar.edu/all-datasets/table for a more generic representation of data set attributes.
