Add sea ice atlas downloads to data page

[brucecrevensten]

For the extent, do we want to just use the image of Alaska we've currently got, noting in the text that it's sea ice from 75N etc as a bounding box? Or, create a new image showing the actual bounding box?

Do you mean the SNAP Tools and Data Page? Right now that's an ice-concentration illustration ...

Generally speaking, it'd be good to have a new image showing the actual bounding box AND a little text explaining the geographic extent (sea ice from 75N etc) a little more. Guess it depends on how big this image is ... and where it is ... I could help with image creation if needed.

we'll create a small map thumbnail showing the extent of the data, likely highlighting the water area but including the land for visual reference.

All of our other data is served as geotiffs. Can we get the "final" sea ice data as geotiffs? I suspect Michael can convert the ncdf or database dump when available.

Once I finish the metadata for this data, we'll use a small simple snippet of that for a short explanation on the data page. "Sea ice data is cool, we have it for monthly and weekly timesteps..etc", just like all the other datasets.

Michael [@earthscientist] and I are going to generate the extent preview tomorrow.

Can we have a benefit/consequence discussion around NetCDF v. GeoTIFF? Digging into tools like Panoply gave me a new perspective on time-series-aware tooling. We've already got the data set up as GeoTIFF to drive Mapserver, so no sweat either / both ways.

Re: NetCDF v. GeoTIFF?

Sure, it comes up almost monthly. Which version of NetCDF? ha.
