CryoGrid simulations of Svalbard mass balance, refreezing and runoff, 1991-2022

Abstract

This collection contains a high-resolution (2.5 km) dataset of glacier mass balance, runoff and snow conditions in Svalbard from 1991-2022, one of the fastest warming regions in the Arctic. The dataset is created using a full energy balance model (the CryoGrid community model) forced by both the Copernicus Arctic Regional ReAnalysis (CARRA) dataset (1991-2021) and AROME-ARCTIC forecasts (2016-2022). Each variable is available at both a daily and monthly resolution.
