Subject: general-announcement Detail: The new Global Sea Ice Concentration OSI-401-b product (introduced in May 2016 to replace OSI-401-a) contains spurious ice measurements in the ice concentration fields. OSI SAF is working on a solution to remove the spurious ice. As an interim solution, OSI SAF has developed a Python program, to filter the spurious ice using the ice edge product, see the URL provided below.This program may remove some valid ice in addition to the spurious ice.
