Level of Service update: SnowEx17 Time Series Sonic Snow Depth Measurement Array, Version 1

The SnowEx17 Time Series Sonic Snow Depth Measurement Array, Version 1 data set has been updated from a basic to a standard level of service at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). Please see our Adding clarity to NSIDC data support with new Level of Service (LoS) model article for more information.

This data set contains 15-min snow depth observations for two study sites on Grand Mesa, CO, USA, acquired between 12 October 2016 and 02 July 2017 as part of NASA’s 2017 SnowEx campaign. The data were recorded using two arrays of Judd Communications Ultrasonic Depth Sensors, positioned to represent three primary vegetation conditions: open-canopy; canopy-edge; and closed-canopy.
