This page presents links for data files containing the ice edge coordinates. Ice edges are presented as ice extent percentiles as seen on these maps and are calculated by considering the ensemble of daily ice extent within the same months across a period. An area is defined as sea ice if the ice concentration is larger than 30 %.
