6. One paragraph description of your model (e.g. abstract from report or
   paper);

Snow mass(snow water equivalent) on the ground is a prognostic variable.
The model predicts the surface temperature of sea ice, glacier ice ( ice
sheet), land or snow.   Also, ground temperature, ground wetness, ground ice
are predicted in the model.
