<br>
<br>
I hope you guys are having a wonderful time.<br>
<br>
I am writing this email to solve a problem that I am facing as I am trying to plot the Arctic sea ice area in km^2. We know that the area = sea ice conc. * grid size. However, the grid size in the Arctic cap is variable. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
