This data set provides raw lidar data from two regions of Alaska, USA collected as part of the NASA SnowEx 2023 field campaign. The study sites include a boreal forest environment in the Fairbanks region of central Alaska (the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest, Caribou Poker Creek watershed, and Farmer’s Loop/Creamer’s Field) and a coastal tundra environment in the North Slope region of the northern Alaska coastal plain (Arctic coastal plain and Upper Kuparuk Toolik). Processed data, including digital terrain models, snow depth, and canopy height derived from Point Cloud Digital Terrain Models (PCDTMs) are available as <a href="https://nsidc.org/data/SNEX23_Lidar">SnowEx23 Airborne Lidar-Derived 0.5M Snow Depth and Canopy Height, Version 1</a>.
