Areas where ice concentration is more than 20% in the Barents Sea (mean over 1 year)
Shapefile showing areas where ice concentration in the Barents Sea in 2018 was on average more than 20%. The 20% threshold was derived from WMO ice classification and corresponds to "Very open drift ice". Data averaged by Ifremer and NIVA derived from CMEMS (Copernicus) ice concentration product (resolution 1km, temporal resolution 1 year- 2018).
Used in EUSeaMap 2019 as a proxy for the polar front affecting distribution of seabed habitats.
Created by the EMODnet Seabed Habitats project consortium.
