Model Monthly Net Freezing Rate
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/13.713

Summary
This dataset contains computed monthly net freezing rate (nfr) over the entire
Arctic Ocean, Barents Sea, and Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian Seas for the years
1997 and 1998. The data have been generated using a numerical sea ice - ocean
model described by Zhang et. al.1998. Forcing was provided by the National
Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research
(NCEP/NCAR) reanalysis. Net freezing rate is defined as the net growth minus
melt over all ice thickness categories, where positive values represent net
growth. The data are provided as unformatted binary files and are arranged on
a cartesian (x,y) grid based on a polar stereographic projection.
