The RRDP is a set of comma separated ASCII files which contain reference sea ice concentrations and/or other relevant data and co-located NWP data from ERA-Interim, satellite Brightness Temperatures (TBs) extracted from the AMSR-E/AMSR2 swath datasets, ASCAT, QuikSCAT, SMOS and SMAP data to be used to for ice concentration calculations and evaluations.

The dataset is easy to use by reading the files line by line, calculate Sea Ice Concentration from the given TBs and compare with the given reference SIC.
