Due to the high spatial and temporal variability as well as inaccessible areas, satellite sensors are optimal tools for snow monitoring. Accurate observations of the cryosphere are not only of interest for climate change research but are of great socio-economic importance.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>The CryoClim project developed a service for long-term systematic climate monitoring of the cryosphere. The service provides sea ice and snow products of global coverage and glacier products covering Norway (mainland and Svalbard). The service was later extended with the Greenland ice sheet. The system and service are a contribution to the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) and the Global Cryosphere Watch (GCW) following the climate monitoring principles recommended by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS).<\/span>\n\n<p>CryoClim is an Internet service primarily based on satellite observations. The service is delivered through a web service and web portal. The portal includes manual searching, viewing and downloading capabilities. CryoClim is an operational and permanent service for long-term systematic climate monitoring of the cryosphere. The product production and the product repositories are hosted by mandated organisations. The databases are connected over the Internet in a seamless and scalable network, open for inclusion of more databases\/sub-services. <\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e40abad elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e40abad\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c1d62cf\" data-id=\"c1d62cf\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee9190b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"ee9190b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-26 gallery-columns-5 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cryoclim.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/about-thumb-4-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-29\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-29'>\n\t\t\t\tGlacier area outlines at Svalbard (1936-2010) (Svalbardkartet, Norsk Polarinstitutt)\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cryoclim.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/about-thumb-3-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-30\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-30'>\n\t\t\t\tGlacier area outlines (LIA\/2003\/2019) for Hardangerj\u00f8kulen\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cryoclim.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/about-thumb-2-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-31\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-31'>\n\t\t\t\tSea ice concentration in the Arctic 1 March 2010\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cryoclim.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/about-thumb-1-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-32\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.cryoclim.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/about-thumb-1-150x150.png 150w, http:\/\/www.cryoclim.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/about-thumb-1.png 216w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-32'>\n\t\t\t\tMulti-sensor multi-temporal \nsnow cover 15 January 2004\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About The cryosphere is a critically important component of the Earth system, affecting the Earth\u2019s energy balance, sea level, greenhouse gases and atmospheric circulation, transport of heat through ocean circulation, ecology and human resource use and well-being.
