Monthly averaged fast-ice thickness in McMurdo Sound from a sea-ice monitoring station

<p>Updated monthly averaged fast-ice thickness on level first year fast ice in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica from a sea-ice monitoring station. Fast-ice thickness is derived from temperature measurements and manual drill hole measurements, and linearly interpolated to produce mid-month values. Do not use the original version (SIMS_thickness.xlsx) as an error has been discovered. SIMS_thickness_V2.xlsx is the corrected dataset. A description of the stations and the methods used can be found in Gough et al., 2012 and Richter et al. 2022.</p> <p>Gough, A. J., Mahoney, A. R., Langhorne, P. J., Williams, M. J. M., Robinson, N.
