| contents | Two Antarctic snowfall climatologies produced from the version R04 of the CloudSat 2C-SNOW PROFILE product are available here. The climatologies cover the period 2007-2010 and the area between 55 and 82 °S. The snowfall rate in the file "CloudSat_2C-SNOW PROFILE_Antarctica_20072010_SRSinf4.nc" has been calculated using only the observations with a snow retrieval status lower than 4 (Wood et al., 2013, Palerme et al., 2018). For producing the file "CloudSat_2C-SNOW-PROFILE_Antarctica_20072010_SRSinf4_1binexcluded.nc", only the observations with a snow retrieval status lower than 4 in which snowfall is observed in at least two vertical bins have been taken into account (Palerme et al., 2018). In addition to the snowfall rate, the number of CloudSat orbits used to assess the mean snowfall rate is also available. The files also provide the snowfall rate uncertainty, which represents the expected uncertainties for individual snowfall rate retrievals (Wood et al., 2013, Palerme et al., 2014). |
