Spatial and temporal variability of snowfall over Greenland from CloudSat observations

Spatial and temporal variability of snowfall over Greenland from CloudSat observations

<p>We use the CloudSat 2006–2016 data record to estimate snowfall over the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS). We first evaluate CloudSat snowfall retrievals with respect to remaining ground-clutter issues. Comparing CloudSat observations to the GrIS topography (obtained from airborne altimetry measur...
