Description

This data set contains rasterized snow depth maps derived from lidar point cloud data collected from Grand Mesa, Colorado during the SnowEx20 campaign. The subset data file was used as input data to derive SWE and snow density data, which is available as <a href="https://doi.org/10.5067/LANQ53RTJ2DR">SnowEx20 Grand Mesa IOP Lidar and GPR-Derived Snow Water Equivalent and Snow Density, Version 1</a>.
