A New Global Cryosphere Map Goal Update the

A New Global Cryosphere Map Goal: Update the classic cryosphere map below with new data, more data, and interactive capabilities.

Data Sources Cryosphere Component Snow Sea Ice Variable Snow cover duration Ice edge/extent Data Source - POC Peter Romanov, CREST/CUNY National Ice Center Data Source - URL Data Source Publication ftp: //ftp. star. nesdis. noaa. gov/pub/smcd/ emb/snow/gmasi_reprocessing/snowdur ation/ https: //www. natice. noaa. gov/products/d aily_products. html Data Type Raster Shapefile Spatial Coverage Temporal Coverage Mean of 1988 -2017 Arctic and Antarctic Max extent - Arctic: 1 Mar 2012, Antarctic: 15 Sep 2014 Min extent - Arctic: 15 Sep 2012, Antarctic: 15 Feb 2018 These are specific days, not averages Will add this in the future Permafrost and Seasonally Frozen Ground Permafrost Zonation (PERZONES) is provided as ESRI shapefile. Permafrost zonation is the permafrost probability fraction reclassified to standard permafrost zonation of continuous, discontinuous and sporadic permafrost. The zone borders were simplified and smoothed. Annett Bartsch, ZAMG https: //doi. pangaea. de/10. 1594/PANGAE A. 888600? format=html#download (http: //store. pangaea. de/Publications/O bu.
