I would like to draw you attention to a new dataset of CryoSat-2 Arctic freeboard and thickness. Data is currently available from January 2011 to March 2013 and contains radar freeboard from a CryoSat-2 level-2 processor developed at the Alfred Wegener Institute, auxiliary datasets (snow depth, ice & snow density etc.) and ice thickness with associated uncertainties. The full dataset (EASE grid) can be downloaded here:
http://mep-datasrv1.awi.de/download/cryosat2.zip
A documentation and quickview plots are available at http://www.meereisportal.de/cryosat. Future updates and revisions of the dataset will also be anounced on this website, which is currently under development.
Please be advised that this dataset should not be treated as a final and fully validated product. Future revisions are likely with new data releases from ESA and better snow parametrizations. User feedback is very welcome (stefan.hendricks@awi.de).
