PPT-1960s Nimbus Sea Ice Extent - Project Basis

1 The recent project to recover Nimbus data is an opportunity to use this 1960s data to create sea ice extent and climate data records CDRs for this era A critical need in climate research is to obtain continuous high quality data records and images as far back in time as is practical for statistical significance.

The Arctic hasn't been itself lately. Temperatures there are rising at twice the global rate, sparking an array of changes unlike anything in recorded history. One of the most striking examples is the region's sea ice, whose dramatic decline over the past decade has led to forecasts of an ice-free Arctic Ocean as early as the 2030s. . Pierre Riteau.
