Seasonal Estimates and Uncertainties of Snow Accumulation from CloudSat Precipitation Retrievals

CloudSat is often the only measurement of snowfall rate available at high latitudes, making it a valuable tool for understanding snow climatology. The capability of CloudSat to provide information on seasonal and subseasonal time scales, however, has yet to be explored. In this study, we use subsamp...
