attribute NC_GLOBAL history String The sea ice drift dataset was developed from International Arctic Buoy Program (IABP) data files, which were sourced from the University of Washington and subsequently quality-controlled by PolarWatch. These data are available for exploration and download via the PolarWatch ERDDAP server: https://polarwatch.noaa.gov/erddap/info/iabpv2_buoys/index.html. This dataset provides valuable insights into sea ice motion, supporting research and monitoring efforts in the Arctic region.
