Dataset: Direct insertion of NASA Airborne Snow Observatory-derived snow depth time-series into the iSnobal energy balance snow model

<p>This dataset is a companion to the submitted WRR publication entitled &lsquo;Direct insertion of NASA Airborne Snow Observatory-derived snow depth time-series into the iSnobal energy balance snow model&rsquo;. The file structure is organized as follows:</p> <ul> <li><strong>ASO_50m_depth_surfaces</strong> - This folder contains the Airborne Snow Observatory lidar-derived snow depth products aggregated to 50m gridded spatial resolution. Each file is titled with a date such as &lsquo;TB<em>YYYYMMDD</em>_SUPERsnow_depth.asc&rsquo;. The coordinates are in UTM zone 11N and use the WGS84 coordinate system.</li> <li><strong>static_grids</strong> <ul> <li>Static grids are used in each of the subsequent folders and are not changed between years.</li> <li>init0000.ipw <ul> <li>Initialization file to begin the model run. Contains the digital elevation model in band 1, surface roughness raster in band 2, and zeroed images of snow properties in bands 3-7.</li> </ul> </li> <li>maxus.nc <ul> <li>netCDF file of 72 separate images of maximum upwind slope for all upwind directions from 0 (north) to 355 degrees in 5-degree increments. Derived using Adam Winstral&rsquo;s Sx algorithm.</li> </ul> </li> <li>tuolx_dem_50m.ipw <ul> <li>Digital elevation model from ASO snow-free acquisition aggregated to 50m gridded spatial resolution. Same information as band 1 in the init0000.ipw file.</li> </ul> </li> <li>tuolx_hetchy_mask_50m.ipw <ul> <li>Basin mask of the Tuolumne River Basin above Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. Out-of-basin cells denoted as 0, and in-basin cells denoted as 1.</li> </ul> </li> <li>tuolx_vegheight_50m.ipw <ul> <li>Vegetation height raster in meters. Derived from NLCD dataset of vegetation type..</li> </ul> </li> <li>tuolx_vegk_50m.ipw <ul> <li>Emissivity of the vegetation canopy.
