Description

The data set contains snow depth measurements from two regions of Alaska, USA collected during the March 2022 intensive observation period (IOP) as part of the NASA SnowEx 2023 field campaign. The study sites include three boreal forest sites 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 site in the North Slope region (Arctic coastal plain). Snow depth measurements collected from the study sampling sites during the subsequent field season are available as <a href="https://nsidc.org/data/snex23_mar23_sd/versions/1">SnowEx23 Mar23 IOP Snow Depth Measurements, Version 1</a>.
