Dataset
ICECAPS-ACE: surface snow surface brightness temperature taken at Summit Station Greenland
Abstract
This dataset contains surface snow surface brightness temperature measured on the roof of the Summit Station Greenland detected by an infrared radiation thermometer (KT15 Infrared Temperature Sensor). Data are 1 minute averages concatenated into monthly files.
These data were collected as part of the joint Natural Environmental Research Council (NERC) and US National Science Foundation (NSF) -funded Integrated Characterisation of Energy, Clouds, Atmospheric state, and Precipitation at Summit - Aerosol Cloud Experiment (ICECAPS-ACE) project.
These data were continued through the 3 year extension to the ICECAPS-ACE project called ICECAPS-MELT.
