Description

This data set contains the results of 1 GHz ground-penetrating radar surveys conducted as part of the NASA SnowEx23 field campaign in Alaska, USA. Surveys were conducted at three different field sites between 07 March 2023 and 16 March 2023: 1) Farmers Loop/Creamers Field (FLCF), 2) the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest (BCEF), and 3) the Caribou/Poker Creek Research Watershed (CPCW). Parameters in this data set include: two-way travel (TWT) time, snow density, calculated snow depth, and calculated snow water equivalent (SWE).
