February 6-9, 2020 data collected with a 1GHz ground penetrating radar during the SnowEx 2020 Intensive Observation Period at Grand Mesa, Colorado. It contains derived measurements of two-way travel times, snow depth, and snow water equivalent. The data set is provided by NSIDC_CPRD.
Use Cases
- Estimate snow water equivalent based on radar-derived measurements
- Map snow depth distribution across a study area based on GPR data
- Validate satellite or airborne snow remote sensing products based on ground-based observations
- Study the relationship between radar travel time and snowpack properties
Strengths
- Data collected during a focused Intensive Observation Period (IOP) in February 2020
- Contains derived snow water equivalent (SWE) and snow depth measurements
- Linked to a specific raw data set with a DOI (10.5067/CT6NS2LIASRS)
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
