Satellite SAR floe size (GIF) [Holt, B.]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/13.416

Summary
This dataset contains data floe size distributions obtained from spaceborne
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery. Floe sizes were derived using an
algorithm referenced in 1) Soh, L.-K., B. Holt, and C. Tsatsoulis: Identifying
ice floes and computing ice floe distributions in Synthetic Aperture Radar
(SAR) images, in Analysis of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data of the polar
regions, C. Tsatsoulis and R. Kwok (eds.), Springer-Verlag, New York, 9-34,
1998.
