Short summary

This dataset consists of reference sea ice concentration (SIC) data records over the Arctic Ocean, which were derived from the 30 m resolution imagery from the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on board Landsat-8. Each SIC map is given in a 6.25 km polar stereographic grid and is catalogued into one of the 12 regions of the Arctic Ocean. This dataset was produced to be used as a reference in the validation of various SIC products.
