Overview
Snow depth profiles were measured from 7-16 March 2023 as part of the NASA SnowEx 2023 March 2023 Intensive Observation Period. Ground-based snow depth profile measurements were taken in the vicinity of 170 snow pits distributed across five study areas in Northern Alaska. Three study areas represented boreal forest snow conditions near Fairbanks, AK: Farmers Loop Creamers Field (FLCF), Caribou Poker Creeks Research Watershed (CPCRW), and Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest (BCEF). Two study areas represented Arctic tundra snow conditions: Arctic Coastal Plain (ACP) and Upper Kuparuk Toolik (UKT).
