Overview
This data set contains the results of 1 GHz ground-penetrating radar surveys (GPR) conducted in Colorado, USA as part of the NASA SnowEx 2017 field campaign. Data was collected between 08 Feb 2017 to 25 Feb 2017 from Grand Mesa, a snow-covered, forested area about 40 miles east of Grand Junction. Data include two-way travel (TWT) time, lidar-measured snow depth, calculated snow water equivalent (SWE), calculated snow density, and calculated relative permittivity.
