Satellite observations of sea ice concentration in the Arctic and the Antarctic are the backbone of www.meereisportal.de since its launch in April 2013. Since then, daily maps and data sets are published on the information and data portal. Time series and trends are updated daily, representing the status of the sea ice cover on hemispheres.
meereisportal.de/seaiceportal.de was laid out as an open portal and shall serve scientific groups performing research on sea ice as a platform for communicating the results of their research.
