This page presents links for data files containing the summary of the sea ice concentration climatology including mean and standard deviation of sea ice concentraion for every month, and mean, standard deviation, trend and trend significance for open water days, freeze down dates and break up dates. One summary data set exists for each hemisphere and period in the form of netCDF4 files.
