End-of-Winter Snow Depth, Temperature, Density, and SWE Measurements at Kougarok Road Site, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2022
Measurements of end-of-winter snow properties were collected at the NGEE Arctic Kougarok Road Site at mile marker 64 (KG_MM64) from April 2 to April 5, 2022. This dataset contains three *.csv data files of spatiallydistributed values of snow depth, snow water equivalent (SWE), and temperature at the...
