Sea ice temperature and albedo from AVHRR, MODIS, and TOVS:http://www-nsidc.colorado.edu/data/nsidc-0069.htmlhttp://modis-snow-ice.gsfc.nasa.gov/sea.html

Twice-yearly (spring-fall) ice thickness and roughness from ICESat - http://nsidc.org/data/icesat/

Ice thickness is also available from ERS-1, ERS-2, and ENVISAT
