NASA Earthdata hosts meteorological data collected at two stations in the Teller watershed on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska. The December 2017 release includes measurements co-located with continuous snow depth and subsurface sensors. Data is provided by SCIOPS in CSV files and via a Data Visualization tool.
Use Cases
- Modeling watershed hydrology based on meteorological and subsurface measurements.
- Analyzing snow depth trends based on co-located continuous snow depth data.
- Studying tundra ecosystem transitions based on data from a tussock/willow transition zone.
- Visualizing temporal patterns of radiation and soil conditions using the provided Data Visualization tool.
Strengths
- Data is co-located with continuous snow depth and subsurface measurements.
- Two distinct stations provide data from upper and lower watershed locations.
- Data is available in both raw CSV format and via an interactive visualization tool.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
