Abstract

The NENU-MPF dataset is a spatiotemporally continuous melt pond fraction (MPF) dataset of Arctic sea ice from 2000 to 2020 (from May 8 to September 24). It was generated from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data using an artificial neural network and a statistical-based temporal filter.

The NENU-MPF dataset was saved in a binary format (.img), which can be easily read by the ENVI software. The information about the data files can be found in the corresponding .hdr file.
