    • SnowEx23 Mar23 Snow Pit Measurements V001

    Metadata Updated: August 23, 2025

    The data set presents snow pit measurements collected during the NASA SnowEx March 2023 Intensive Observation Period (IOP) in Alaska, USA to use for calibration and validation with coincident airborne SWESARR and lidar measurements as part of the strategy focused on snow water equivalence (SWE) and snow depth (HS). In total, 170 snow pits were excavated between the five sites at locations representing a range of snow depth, vegetation, and topographic conditions. Three study areas represented boreal forest snow near Fairbanks, AK: Farmers Loop Creamers Field (FLCF), Caribou Poker Creek Research Watershed (CPCRW), and Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest (BCEF). Two study areas represented Arctic tundra snow: Arctic Coastal Plain (ACP) and Upper Kuparuk Toolik (UKT).
