- Is using the Polar Weather Research and Forecasting Model (PWRF) and High Resolution Land Data Assimilation (HRLDAS) systems and it is initialized and driven by ERA-Interim. Snow cover and snow albedo are assimilated from the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) observations and vary seasonally, again, to represent melting and freezing.
