The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) has released a new Web
site that summarizes the characteristics of over two dozen sea ice data
sets. The site offers a complete summary and intercomparison of sea ice
data derived from passive microwave sensors and other sources, including
ice charts, surface observations, and drifting buoys. Where possible,
the site includes links to browse images and tools to assist users in
understanding and working with NSIDC's diverse sea ice data holdings,
and in finding the data set that best fits their application. Links to
various other external sea ice data sources are also provided.

The sea ice site is available from:
