- To calculate the meridional ice concentration do the following:
- Loop over latitude 75N to 85N
- Convert to polar stereographic coordinates [km].
Convert to pixel indices (y,x). The resolution of the grid is 12.5 km. The offset to the pole is given in the definition polar stereographic projection
