This data set presents ground surface roughness data collected during the NASA SnowEx 2023 field campaign between 17 and 28 October 2023. The data are formatted as point clouds, compiled from images acquired using a digital camera. Images were collected from 22 snow pits located across three study sites: Upper Kuparuk and Toolik (UKT), an arctic tundra environment in Northern Alaska, and Caribou Poker Creek watershed (CPCW) and Farmers Loop Creamers Field (FLCF), two boreal forest sites near Fairbanks, Alaska. The raw imagery from which these data are derived are available as <a href="https://doi.org/10.5067/FZ3KL32LBPA2">SnowEx23 Oct23 Ground Surface Roughness Imagery, Version 1</a>.
