FY3B/MWRI 

Arctic sea ice surface area snow depth

Data introduction:

Snow Depth on sea ice (SD) based on FY3B/MWRI (FengYun-3B/MicroWave Radiation Imager) brightness temperature data, Key Laboratory of Polar Ocean Process and Global Ocean Change, Ocean University of China (POGOC) ) Development and development. This product is the weekly average depth of 12.5km of Arctic seasonal ice surface dry snow (within 50cm). The sea ice concentration is calculated by the ASI algorithm, and the snow depth is obtained by the AMSR-E sensor snow data product algorithm.

Arctic quasi-real-time weekly average seasonal ice surface dry snow depth (12.5km)

the data shows:

Time range: November 24, 2010 to the present

Time resolution: 7-day average

Parameter Type: Depth of dry snow on seasonal ice surface

Grid resolution: 12.5km (polar projection)

historical data:

Annual average snow surface annual snow depth distribution

*Note: We only count the value of sea ice concentration greater than 15%
