Dataset description

The Sea Ice Type product is a classification product (multiyear ice/first-year ice) and covers both the Northern Hemisphere (NH) and Southern Hemisphere (SH). The sea ice type is derived from passive microwave and active microwave sensors using a multi sensor methods with a Bayesian approach to combine the different sensors. At present, it is not possible to do an ice type classification during summer from the processed channels. Accordingly, the NH ice type product files distributed between mid-May and 30 September do not contain any valid classification. Similarly for the SH, at present no ice type classification has been defined and SH product files do not contain valid classification.

Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.
Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.
Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.
Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
