This dataset contains observations of ice phenology throughout the winter of 2019/2020 (Water Year 2020). Observations are primarily co-located within or near communities participating in the Fresh Eyes on Ice project, seeking to expand spatial coverage of ice observations and inform a variety of user groups including river forecasters, community members, and remote sensing scientists. Sites were selected for a variety of factors including community interest and site feasibility. This spatially distributed dataset provides valuable information about ice conditions through the winter of 2019 and 2020 on rivers around Alaska, including the Kuskokwim River near Kwethluk (later Napaskiak), Alaska, the Tanana River near Fairbanks, Alaska, the Innoko River near Shageluk, Alaska, the Noatak River near Noatak, Alaska, the Yukon River in Galena, Alaska, the Yukon River at Paimute, Alaska, the Copper River below Tazlina, Alaska, the Kantishna River near its confluence, Alaska, and the Colville River near Nuiqsut, Alaska. These observations were made on a daily basis from remote camera installations.
