A Database of Snow on Sea Ice in the Central Arctic Collected during the MOSAiC expedition
Snow plays an essential role in the Arctic as the interface between the sea ice and the atmosphere. Optical properties, thermal conductivity and mass distribution are critical to understanding the complex Arctic sea ice system's energy balance and mass distribution. By conducting measurements f...
