SUMup Density, Accumulation, and Snow Depth on Sea Ice
Increasing atmospheric temperatures over ice cover affects surface processes including melt, snowfall and snow density. Here, we present a comprehensive database of Arctic and Antarctic surface mass-balance observations of density, accumulation, and snow depth on sea ice over a 60 year time period....

Increasing atmospheric temperatures over ice cover affects surface processes including melt, snowfall and snow density.
