+***LakeIce*** consists of pixel-level backscatter (reflection) values from satellite images of Yukon, Canada [1, 2]. The time series are extracted over three decades from ERS-1/2, Radarsat, and Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar satellites. The processed dataset contains $129{,}280$ (univariate) time series each of length $161$, representing 6 months of data (October to March), with three classes representing bedfast ice, floating ice, and land. This version of the dataset has been split into stratified random cross-validation folds.
