On the warm bias in atmospheric reanalyses induced by the missing snow over Arctic sea-ice
Contemporary atmospheric reanalysis and forecast systems often neglect the snow layer on top of the sea ice. This can result in a 5 to 10 °C warm bias of the sea-ice surface temperature and thus, in a misrepresentation of the surface energy budget.
