Abstract:
Arctic snowfall climatology produced from the version R05 of the CloudSat 2C-SNOW-PROFILE product is available.
It covers the 2007-2010 period over the latitudes from 58.5°N to 82°S.
The monthly snowfall rates in this file have been calculated using the observations with:
- a snow retrieval status lower than 3
- and a snowfall rate surface confidence > 1
Additionnaly, the monthly surface snowfall rate uncertainties, number of CloudSat orbits as well as number of observations are available.
The number of observations over these 4 years is not sufficient to consider snowfall rates monthly (Edel et al. 2020).
If one wants to obtain monthly snowfall rates, it is necessary to average multiple years.
