Because of its unique natural conditions and geographical location, the Arctic region plays a very important role in global change. Polar sea ice, as an important influencing factor of climate change, is a sensitive instrument of global climate change. The Yellow River Station, one of China's research stations in the Arctic, focuses on supporting the three scientific fields of global change and its regional response, the polar space environment and space climate, and the life characteristics and processes in the polar environment, providing an important platform for China's in-depth scientific research activities in the Arctic. Therefore, the product data set of data validation for key areas of Arctic sea ice in recent years is constructed to monitor the key areas of Arctic sea ice.

File naming and required software

File name: sea ice data is stored in TIF format. The file name is "gfx ﹣ yyydddd ﹣ HH. TIF", where X represents high score data, yyyy represents year, DDD represents date, and HH is data number. The data reading mode can be opened with ArcGIS.
