Constraining Reanalysis Snowfall Over the Arctic Ocean Using CloudSat Observations

In the absence of widespread snowfall observations over the Arctic Ocean, reanalysis products provide a wide range of estimates of time‐evolving snowfall rates over Arctic sea ice, and it can be difficult to determine which product is most representative. In this work, Arctic snowfall rates retrieved from 2006 to 2016 CloudSat observations and snowfall products from three reanalyses are assessed. The products can be brought into encouraging...
