It is also available as a CD-ROM. It is a joint NCDC, US Navy, and National Ice Center (NIC) product. DS- 9938 contains weekly ice data in the "International Sea Ice in the Digital Form" (SIGRID) format for 1972-1994 for the Arctic and 1973- 1994 for the Antarctic. The SIGRID format was designed to meet the sea ice requirements of large scale climate and statistical studies. The .25 degree grid structure includes total ice concentration, thickness stage, and form of ice for the complete period of record. The CD-ROM contains no display or extraction routines. The SIGRID reference file provides detailed information concerning the coding system for digitizing sea ice chart data. Files are in DOS format, but can be converted to UNIX.
