DOI: 10.18122/bcal_data.6.boisestate

Overview

The data set consists of 1 m resolution snow depth, elevation, aspect, slope, canopy percent cover, canopy height, and foliage height diversity (FHD) measurements at 0.5 m, 1 m, and 2 m from the NASA SnowEx Grand Mesa, Colorado study site. Data are derived from Airborne Snow Observatory (ASO) snow-off lidar flights from September 2016 (ASO L4 Lidar Point Cloud Digital Terrain Model 3m UTM Grid, Version 1) and Quantum Spatial snow-on lidar flights from February 2020 (SnowEx20-21 QSI Lidar DEM 0.5m UTM Grid, Version 1).
