CryoClim: A New Operational System And Service For Climate Monitoring Of The Cryosphere
Abstract
CryoClim is an Internet service providing cryospheric climate products, primarily based on satellite observations. The service is delivered through a web service and web portal (www.cryoclim.net). 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. CryoClim provides sea ice and snow products of global coverage and glacier products covering Norway (mainland and Svalbard).
