Overview

This data set contains an eight-day time series of vertical temperature profile measurements. Measurements were collected using a thermoprobe to a depth of 30 cm at two site locations. These data were collected as part of the SnowEx 2020 Intensive Observation Period in Grand Mesa, Colorado. Alongside temperature profiles, this data set contains snow depth measurements, manual temperature measurements, and thermal infrared camera images. These data are published without QA/QC or calibration with manual measurements.
