Description

Earliest snowmelt estimation dates calculated for the year 2003 are provided using sea ice brightness temperatures from AMSR-E (Cavalieri et al., 2014) and DMSP SSM/I-SSMIS (Meier et al., 2019), as well as simulated sea ice brightness temperatures from the CESM2 JRA-55 (Danabasoglu et al., 2020; Kobayashi et al., 2015; Tsujino et al., 2018), which were created using the Arctic Ocean Observation Operator (ARC3O; Burgard et al, 2020a,b).  Scripts and README files are provided for preparing the model data to act as input to ARC3O.
