Short summary
The Crocus-ERA5 snow dataset supports Arctic snow monitoring and contributes to the Arctic Report Card. It improves on its predecessor with higher spatial resolution (0.25° vs. 0.75°), enhancing topographic and land cover detail. The product’s performance is assessed in terms of snow depth and cover compared to in situ observations and satellite data. The findings show a notable improvement, though remaining biases appear in boreal forests, where snow–forest interactions are not captured.
