Snowfall and precipitation phase climatologies for the Greenland Ice Sheet (2006-2016) from CloudSat's cloud-profiling radar
This dataset contains Greenland Ice Sheet snowfall climatologies derived from Release 5, Version P1 of the CloudSat snowfall product (2C-SNOW-PROFILE: http://www.cloudsat.cira.colostate.edu/data-products/level-2c/2c-snow-profile).
