Description of the heat-flux and sea ice production data set in the 
Arctic Ocean

The heat-fluxe and sea ice production analysis is produced daily on 
the SSM/I EASE grid.
The analysis uses SSM/I microwave data and NCEP2 and ERA-interim data.

The analysis of heat-flux and ice production is described in
Tamura, T., and K. I. Ohshima (2011), Mapping of sea ice production in 
the Arctic coastal polynyas, Journal of Geophysical Research, 116, 
C07030, doi:10.1029/2010JC006586.

When you will use these data set in your paper, please be sure to
refer Tamura and Ohshima (2011).

In this web site, the heat-flux and sea ice production analysis is 
available in individual yearly files of individual monthly data 
products.
