Data Announcement

New data set releases: SMAPVEX19-22 Massachusetts/Millbrook Lidar Derived Digital Surface Model, Version 1

The SMAPVEX19-22 Massachusetts Lidar Derived Digital Surface Model, Version 1 and SMAPVEX19-22 Millbrook Lidar Derived Digital Surface Model, Version 1 data sets, are now available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). These data consist of ground surface elevations derived from source lidar measurements collected in August 2022 in the vicinity of Millbrook, NY, and Petersham, MA during the SMAPVEX19-22 campaign. This location was chosen due to its forested land cover, as SMAPVEX19-22 aims to validate satellite-derived soil moisture estimates in forested areas. The two acquisition periods occurred to characterize differences during "leaf-on" and "leaf-off" conditions.
