This file contains three datasets of geophysical data compiled from satellite observations made over the archipelagos of Novaya Zemlya and Severnaya Zemlya in the Russian Arctic between 2010 and 2018: - maps of surface elevation change (dh) over the entire glaciated area of the two regions, and rasterised ice masks (source RGI 6.0) of both land- and marine-terminating glaciers and ice caps; - time series of surface elevation change (dh) at 90-day time steps over single glacier and ice cap basins, and over larger areas (control domains) defined as follows: B1N, B2N, B3N, B4N, K1N, K2N, K3N (Novaya Zemlya), and K1S, K2S, L1S, L2S, L3S (Severnaya Zemlya); - climate forcing (T2m, SST, SIC and SOTF1-3) averaged over each of the 12 aforementioned control areas. The climate data is presented as time series, means and longer term trends of seasonal (90-days) anomalies with respect to a pre-defined baseline period. A more complete description of these datasets will be provided in the publication with the same name (currently in review).
