In black, the SIV anomaly after removing the climatological seasonal cycle of SIV obtained from the 2010–2020 time series of SIV from CryoSat-2 SIT and OSISAF SIC. In red, blue, and purple are the contributions of SIC anomalies, SIT anomalies, and their correlated component, respectively, ...
The CryoSat-2 Arctic freeboard measurements are produced by the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling (CPOM) and are converted to SIT within FOAM using modelled snow depth. This is the first time along-track observations of SIT have been used in this way, with other centr...
Here, we present a quantitative comparison of three CryoSat-2 (CS-2) SIT products from the Alfred-Wegener-Institute (AWI), the National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSIDC), and the European Space Agency (ESA) during the growth season (October to April) from 2010 to 2018 with Operation ...
The impact of sea ice density on retrieved SIT from CryoSat-2 altimeter was assessed. The measured sea ice density during 2000–2015 varies between 675 kg·m and 954 kg·m, which indeed has a wider range than the values measured before 21 century. Monthly mean sea ice density in the ...

CryoSat-2ArcticLSTMArctic sea ice and snow affect the energy balance of the global climate system through the radiation budget. Accurate determination of the snow cover over Arctic sea ice is significant for the retrieval of the sea ice thickness (SIT). In this study, we developed a new ...
