Arctic Sea Ice Extent Data, 1901-2015
Description
This data set from Connelly et al. (2017) measures the Arctic sea
ice extent in 10^6 square kilometers. It includes lower bounds and
upper bounds on annual averages.
Usage
arcticseaice
Format
A data frame with 115 observations on the following 4 variables.
yearthe year
valuethe annual Arctic sea ice extent (in 10^6 sq km)
ubThe upper bound of the value, provided by Connelly et al.
lbThe lower bound of the value, provided by Connelly et al.
Details
This is for illustration of climate change for my intro students.
Connelly et al. (2017) are in part a methodological paper. The data I present
here are from the "rescaled (unadjusted T)" data in the second sheet from
their replication files.

datasets using Arctic surface air temperature records”.
