Raw Arctic data were smoothed and then transformed into functional data using
fda
package. To overcome the difficulty of exporting an fda
object in a
package, the object was discretized into a data set with 365 columns
corresponding to 365 days a year and 39 rows corresponding to
39 years. The years are from 1979 to 1986, then from 1989 to 2018. The years
1978, 1987, and 1988 were removed because the measurements were not complete.
