Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 14 September 2021, shows the east coast of Greenland completely covered in snow after heavy snowfall caused by ex-Hurricane Larry. On 12 September 2021, a rare extratropical storm generated by the remnants of Hurricane Harry caused heavy snowfall in Greenland just as the summer thaw season was approaching its end. As a result, the towns of Kulusuk and Tasiilaq experienced wind gusts of 140 km/h, and blizzard conditions were reported at Summit Station. According to meteorologists at the Danish Meteorological Institute, the recent snowfall has been so significant that it has compensated for melt losses during the entire summer, including the three record melt events in July and August. The Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission provides images with a daily review that allows to improve our scientific knowledge of atmospheric composition and gather essential information for climate studies and weather forecasts.
