High-resolution mapping of ice cover changes in over 33,000 lakes across the North Temperate Zone

Widespread reductions in lake ice have been detected recently worldwide, yet spatially detailed characterization of global lake ice is currently unavailable. Using 0.55 million Landsat satellite images from 1985 to 2020, we provide the first long-term wall-to-wall mapping of lake ice cover over the entire Northern Temperate Zone, comprising >33,000 lakes representing 48% of the global lake area in total.
