Snow water equivalent data from the Imnavait Creek watershed, Arctic Alaska, 1985-2017

The purpose of this dataset is to report long-term (1985–2017) snow water equivalent (SWE) data collection in remote Arctic watershed. Researchers at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Water and Environmental Research Center have been collecting end-of-winter SWE measurements in the Imnavait Creek...

Researchers at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Water and Environmental Research Center have been collecting end-of-winter SWE measurements in the Imnavait Creek watershed (2.2 square kilometers) since the year 1985. The measurements of snow depth and water equivalent were made during annual snow surveys in April, May and June. Two SWE data sets are reported for the Imnavait Creek watershed. SWE measurements in April provide quantitative estimate of maximum snow accumulation on the ground at winter’s end after sublimation and redistribution by wind. SWE measurements in May and June provide net decrease in SWE during snow ablation period.
