Description

The dataset comprises time-lapse images captured by cameras placed near Fairbanks, AK as part of the NASA SnowEx 2022-2023 field campaign. Nine cameras were installed in the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest (BCEF) and eight cameras were installed in the Caribou-Poker Creek Research Watershed (CPCW). The time-lapse images were collected using a WingscapesTimeLapsePro camera in conjunction with a custom-made snow pole. The camera captured one image per hour between 1100 and 1300 local standard time for a total of three images a day, documenting the fluctuations in snow levels throughout the observation period.
