obsSep2006_2007: Observed sea ice September 2006-2007

In IceCast: Apply Statistical Post-Processing to Improve Sea Ice Predictions

Description

The object observed is an array obtained from the function readMonthlyBSfor startYear = 2006 and endYear = 2007. It gives the observed sea ice concentrations arranged in an array of dimension of year x month x lon x lat. The observations are from the monthly sea ice concentration obtained from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) satellites Nimbus-7 SMMR and DMSP SSM/I-SSMIS and processed by the bootstrap algorithm. The results are distributed by the National Snow and Ice Data Center (Comiso 2017).
