  note         = {{- The snow depths used to convert the altimetric 
                   freeboard estimates into sea-ice thickness reflect
                   climatological conditions; it is likely that the
                   influence of inter-annual variation in snow depth
                   on the freeboard-to-thickness conversion are not
                   adequately represented.  - Users are recommended
                   to carefully read the documentation of this data
                   set to understand the limitations arising from the
                   required interpolation of sea-ice thickness and
                   sea-ice concentration values across the
                   observational data gap around the North Pole.   -

                   freeboard estimation and freeboard-to-thickness

                   similar sea-ice volume data set has been derived
                   for the Antarctic. It covers all months of the
                   same period, i.e. years 2002-2017, but is less
                   accurate than in the Arctic due to limitations in
                   the freeboard retrieval; interested users can
                   contact Stefan Kern to obtain this data set.}},
