Overview
The data set contains snow depth measurements from five study sites in Alaska, USA; data were collected during the March 2023 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 two coastal tundra sites in the North Slope region (Arctic coastal plain and Upper Kuparuk Toolik). Snow depth measurements collected from the study sampling sites during the previous field season are available as SnowEx23 Mar22 IOP Snow Depth Measurements, Version 1.
