Description

This data set presents snow depth, snow water equivalent (SWE), and bulk snow density data collected during the NASA SnowEx 2023 field campaign between March 13-16 2023. Samples were collected using an Adirondack snow sampler (SWE tube) from two study sites: Upper Kuparuk and Toolik (UKT), an arctic tundra environment in Northern Alaska, and Farmers Loop Creamers Field (FLCF), a boreal forest near Fairbanks, Alaska.
