Monthly mean reanalysis of Arctic sea ice thickness, concentration, and
velocity
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/102.280

Summary
This dataset contains the Pan-Arctic Ice Ocean Modeling and Assimilation
System (PIOMAS) retrospective investigation model output from 1978-2005. The
data contains arctic sea ice thickness and concentration, snow depth, ice
growth rate, and ocean surface salinity. This dataset is part of the Bering
Sea Ecosystem Study-Bering Sea Integrated Ecosystem Research Program
(BEST-BSIERP). BEST-BSIERP together are the Bering Sea project.
