New data set release: SnowEx17 KT-15 Infrared Brightness Temperature, Version 1

The SnowEx17 KT-15 Infrared Brightness Temperature data set is now available from the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC).

This data set contains brightness temperature readings which were measured using a KT-15 pyrometer flown on a P-3 aircraft over 2017 SnowEx campaign study areas in Colorado, USA: Grand Mesa, a snow-covered, forested study site about 40 miles east of Grand Junction; and Senator Beck Basin, approximately 80 miles to the SSE of Grand Mesa. Data represents the nadir brightness temperature below the aircraft. The footage was acquired between 10 February 2017 and 25 February 2017.
