Extensions of NSIDC sea-ice motion and sea-ice age v4.1 data sets

We extended the data set of the NSIDC daily gridded sea-ice motion, version 4.1, together with the additional monthly mean gridded sea-ice motion fields derived in-house by one year. These data sets are available at 25 km grid resolution from 11/1978 through 12/2024 for both hemispheres:

Upgrade of CMIP6 Model Sea-Ice-Area Directory

We upgraded the CMIP6 model sea-ice area directory providing access to ONLY the sea ice area - separately for the Northern and Southern hemisphere - from historical, picontrol, ssp119, ssp126, ssp245, ssp370, ssp460, and ssp585 runs (if available). In the previous version we had grouped different models run at one center or...

Extension of MODIS atmospheric properties

We extended the MODIS TERRA and AQUA atmospheric property data sets: temperature profiles, water vapor, precipitable water, various cloud properties such as cloud fraction, cloud top pressure, etc. These global level-3 data sets are extracted from MOD08_D3 and MYD08_D3 data sets and come with 1 degree x 1 degree grid...

Extension of MODIS atmospheric properties

We extended the Terra and Aqua MODIS  aerosol properties data sets containing parameters such as concentration of aerosol optical depth derived with the deep blue and/or dark target approaches. These global level-3 data sets are extracted from MOD08_D3 and MYD08_D3 data sets and come with 1 degree x 1 degree grid resolution...

Extension of MODIS chlorophyll-a concentration

We extended the MODIS-based data sets of version v2022.0 of the ocean near-surface chlrorophyll-a concentration and related parameters, e.g. particulate organic carbon content. Data sets are available for both, AQUA and TERRA, until including September 2025 for both daily and monthly temporal resolution. This global data...

Extension of MODIS sea surface temperature

We extended the MODIS sea surface temperature (SST) data sets for both, Terra and Aqua, based on thermal infrared imaging until including August 2025. These global data sets come with approximately 0.05 degree grid resolution. For more information see:

ICDC Data Center

The Integrated Climate Data Center (ICDC) allows easy access to climate relevant data from in-situ measurements and satellite remote sensing. These data are important to determine the status and the changes in the climate system. Additionally some relevant re-analysis data are included, which are modeled on the basis of observational data.
