The SUMup dataset: compiled measurements of surface mass balance components over ice sheets and sea ice with analysis over Greenland
Increasing atmospheric temperatures over ice cover affect surface processes, including melt, snowfall, and snow density. Here, we present the Surface Mass Balance and Snow on Sea Ice Working Group (SUMup) dataset, a standardized dataset of Arctic and Antarctic observations of surface mass balance co...
