Global snowmelt onset dataset from spaceborne radiometer observations

A 40-year integrated global snowmelt onset dataset (1979–2018) is produced by combining the estimates over sea ice, ice sheets and the terrestrial snow from spaceborne microwave radiometers. The globally integrated snowmelt onset (MO) dataset with a spatial of 25 km brings new insights into the clim...

Description
Summary:A 40-year integrated global snowmelt onset dataset (1979–2018) is produced by combining the estimates over sea ice, ice sheets and the terrestrial snow from spaceborne microwave radiometers. The globally integrated snowmelt onset (MO) dataset with a spatial of 25 km brings new insights into the climate dynamics in the cryosphere and the associated atmospheric controls.
