For the Global - Arctic and Antarctic - Ocean. The OSI SAF delivers five global sea ice products in operational mode: sea ice concentration, sea ice edge, sea ice type (OSI-401, OSI-402, OSI-403, OSI-405 and OSI-408). The sea ice concentration, edge and type products are delivered daily at 10km resolution and the sea ice drift in 62.5km resolution, all in polar stereographic projections covering the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. The sea ice drift motion vectors have a time-span of 2 days. These are the Sea Ice operational nominal products for the Global Ocean.

OGC Web Map Tile Service (WMTS)

Gridded ice displacement fields obtained from satellite image processing. It is a low resolution product (62.5km resolution). The time span of the ice displacement is approximately 48 hours. This dataset is intended both for process studies and data assimilation. Daily products are freely available from the OSI SAF distribution chain.
