Short summary
Snow on Arctic sea ice acts like a blanket that traps heat and reflects sunlight, so it matters for the climate. Drawing on measurements from a year-long Arctic expedition, we improved models that simulate snow on the ice. Without wind-driven snow movement, the models overestimated snow depth. Adding a wind-driven scheme cut the average error by more than half. After tuning, simulated snow matched observations. The findings help project how Arctic sea ice may evolve in a warming climate.
