Details

A data frame with file, date, fullname

Note that this product changed from the legacy 2000-2008 initial East Antarctic product "binary_fast_ice" to the circumpolar update "circum_fast_ice" 2000-2018 in Feburary 2021.

If you want the old files, use `product = "binary_fast_ice"`, but it's safe to assume the default product supersedes the old one.

The initial product was in Cylindrical Equal Area projection, while the circumpolar product uses the NSIDC-compatible polar stereographic (but with an unspecified extent, though implicit in the longitude and latitude arrays of the NetCDF files).

Exists in 'public.services.aad.gov.au/datasets/science' (Feb 2021).
