Greenland surface mass balance derived from climate reanalysis models, 1979-2017
This archive contains monthly gridded files (1979-2012) for an ensemble mean of the third-generation climate models NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR), ECMWF European Reanalysis Interim (ERAI), JMA Japanese 55-year Reanalysis (JRA55), and NASA Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Resear...
