Collections allows the user to search in subsets of the existing catalogue. The collections are primarily data management projects that have been incorporated in the ADC catalogue. The collections currently served through ADC include (datasets may belong to multiple data collections):
ADC is the full collection of this service CC is the CryoClim collection
In order to search a specific data collection select that collection. If no data collection is selected all collections are searched.

Abstract:
This climate data record of sea ice concentration is obtained from coarse resolution passive microwave satellite data over the polar regions (SMMR, SSM/I, and SSMIS). The processing chain features: 1) dynamic tuning of tie-points and algorithms, 2) correction of atmospheric noise using a Radiative Transfer Model, 3) computation of per-pixel uncertainties, and 4) an optimal hybrid sea ice concentration algorithm. This dataset was generated by the EUMETSAT Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Application Facility (OSI SAF). The ESA CCI Programme contributed with Research and Development on the algorithms. The algorithm and validation of the dataset are described in Lavergne et al. (2019, https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-13-49-2019)
