Abstract
This dataset contains high-resolution satellite-derived snow/ice surface melt-related data on a common 100 m equal area grid (Lambert azimuthal equal area projection; EPSG 9820) over Larsen C Ice Shelf and surrounding areas in Antarctica. The data is prepared to be used as part of a machine learning framework that aims to fill data gaps in computed meltwater fraction on the 100 m grid using a range of methods, results of which will be published separately.


The data include fraction of a grid cell covered by meltwater derived from Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) backscatter, satellite-derived passive microwave (PMW) brightness temperatures, snowpack liquid water content within the first meter of snow and atmospheric and radiative variables from the Modéle Atmosphérique Règional (MAR) regional climate model, a static digital elevation model (DEM), and an ice sheet mask.


A similar dataset has been produced for Helheim Glacier, Greenland and is also available through the US Antarctic Program Data Center.
