Title: OCEAN ICE - European circumpolar sea ice production fluxes

Summary:
This dataset on sea ice production (SIP) in Antarctic coastal polynyas offers crucial insights into these regions' roles in sea ice and dense water formation. Using Earth Observation data and atmospheric reanalysis, the dataset employs a heat budget method to estimate SIP. It incorporates sea ice concentration (SIC) from passive microwave sensors and near-surface wind speed and surface air temperature from ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis. Comparative analysis with previous studies confirms the dataset's accuracy in depicting spatial patterns and the magnitude of ice production, though some variations exist across larger polynyas. While simplifications may increase uncertainties in absolute SIP values, this dataset is a valuable resource for understanding the dynamics and variability of Antarctic polynya SIP from 1992 to 2023.
