Time-Lapse Imagery and GPS Data from Finse, Norway Snowmelt Season 2018

Time-lapse images from three cameras and differential GPS data collected from May 10 to June 10, 2018 in Finse, Norway. The dataset supports research on distributed snow depth using photogrammetry and includes Python scripts for processing point clouds. Data were collected by Simon Filhol, Alexis Perret, and Guillaume Sutter from the University of Oslo.

Use Cases

• Modeling snow depth distribution over time based on time-lapse imagery and GPS data.
• Developing photogrammetry workflows for environmental monitoring using the provided Python scripts.
• Validating remote sensing products for snow cover using ground-based time-lapse observations.

Strengths

• Data covers a defined 32-day snowmelt season from May 10 to June 10, 2018.
• Includes complementary data types: imagery, differential GPS, and processing scripts.
• Associated with a submitted manuscript, suggesting a research-grade collection.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
