Dataset. https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.24768654.v1 ### Description Boundaries of polynyas extracted from binary ≤50% threshold daily sea ice concentration data, 1979-2022. ### Processing steps 1. Download 50% threshold Shapefile data from https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.24768654.v1 2. Dissolve data on polyID and day, month or year. 3. Run 02_make_freq_raster.py from cwd * Generates a 25 km resolution polynya frequency raster, with each cell representing the number of days a polynya was present at that location (1979–2022) * Outputs Int32 COG in EPSG:3031, NoData = -9999
