Daily gridded datasets of snow depth and snow water equivalent for the Iberian Peninsula from 1980 to 2014

<p>We present snow observations and a validated daily gridded snowpack dataset that was simulated from downscaled reanalysis of data for the Iberian Peninsula. The Iberian Peninsula has long-lasting seasonal snowpacks in its different mountain ranges, and winter snowfalls occur in most of its area. However, there are only limited direct observations of snow depth (SD) and snow water equivalent (SWE), making it difficult to analyze snow dynamics and the spatiotemporal patterns of snowfall. We used meteorological data from downscaled reanalyses as input of a physically based snow energy balance model to simulate SWE and SD over the Iberian Peninsula from 1980 to 2014. More specifically, the ERA-Interim reanalysis was downscaled to 10 ×10 km resolution using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The WRF outputs were used directly, or as input to other submodels, to obtain data needed to drive the Factorial Snow Model (FSM). We used lapse-rate coefficients and hygrobarometric adjustments to simulate snow series at 100 m elevations bands  for each 10 × 10 km grid cell in the Iberian Peninsula.  The snow series were validated using data from MODIS satellite sensor and ground observations. The overall simulated snow series accurately reproduced the interannual variability of snowpack and the spatial variability of snow accumulation and melting, even in very complex topographic terrains. Thus, the presented dataset may be useful for many applications, including land management, hydrometeorological studies, phenology of flora and fauna, winter tourism and risk management .</p> <p> </p>

Snow depth on Hardangervidda, South Norway 2008-2009

<p>This data set contains 10 m gridded snow depths derived from airborne light detection and ranging, or lidar, and measurements of surface elevation (DTM). The data were collected by the BREMS project of the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate. The data were collected along six independent flight lines. Each flight line is 80km long and 500m wide and follows a west-east orientation. Each flight line is separated by 10 km in the north/south direction in order to investigate any change from north to south.</p>

Multi-frequency altimetry snow depth product over Arctic sea ice

<p>Satellite altimetry can be used to estimate sea ice thickness, an essential variable to better understand and forecast the dynamic ice cover. Nevertheless, some sources of uncertainty remain, and one of the most important concerns the snow depth, a key parameter to convert the measured ice freeboard into sea ice thickness.</p> <p>Snow depth can be estimated using different altimeter frequencies with different snow penetration capabilities. We have developed a monthly snow depth product based on the differences between CryoSat-2 SAR Ku and IceSat-2 laser altimeters covering the period 2018-2021 with a spatial resolution of 25 km.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

Eight Mile Lake Research Watershed, Carbon in Permafrost Experimental Heating Research (CiPEHR): snow depth sensor data, 2012-2017

The Carbon in Permafrost Experimental Heating Research (CiPEHR) project addresses the following questions: 1) Does ecosystem warming cause a net release of C from the ecosystem to the atmosphere?, 2) Does the decomposition of old C, that comprises the bulk of the soil C pool, influence ecosystem C loss?, and 3) How do winter and summer warming alone, and in combination, affect ecosystem C exchange? We are answering these questions using a combination of field and laboratory experiments to measure ecosystem carbon balance and radiocarbon isotope ratios at a warming experiment located in an upland tundra field site near Healy, Alaska in the foothills of the Alaska Range. This data set contains three-hourly measurements of snow depth collected with acoustic sensors for winter warming and control treatment plots.

Eight Mile Lake Research Watershed, Thaw Gradient: Half-hourly snow depth data, 2012-2017

In this larger study, we are asking the question: Is old carbon that comprises the bulk of the soil organic matter pool released in response to thawing of permafrost? We are answering this question by using a combination of field and laboratory experiments to measure radiocarbon isotope ratios in soil organic matter, soil respiration, and dissolved organic carbon, in tundra ecosystems. The objective of these proposed measurements is to develop a mechanistic understanding of the SOM sources contributing to C losses following permafrost thawing. We are making these measurements at an established tundra field site near Healy, Alaska in the foothills of the Alaska Range. Field measurements center on a natural experiment where permafrost has been observed to warm and thaw over the past several decades. This area represents a gradient of sites each with a different degree of change due to permafrost thawing. As such, this area is unique for addressing questions at the time and spatial scales relevant for change in arctic ecosystems. This data set provides half-hourly measurements of snow depth collected with an acoustic sensor.

TVCSnow 2017-2018 tundra snow depth probe measurements

<p>Snow depth measurements were recorded in March 2018 as part of Environment and Climate Change Canada&#39;s 2017-2018 Trail Valley Creek Snow Experiment (TVCSnow 17/18). These snow depths were collected to investigate the relationship between snow microstructure and airborne and ground-based passive microwave radiometer measurements of snow in a tundra environment to develop improved methods for retrieving tundra snow water equivalent and atmospheric profiles of temperature and humidity. Snow depths were recorded 50 km north of the town of Inuvik, Northwest Territories. Measurements took place from March 16th to 23rd 2018 in and around the Trail Valley Creek research station. The snow depth measurements were recorded with an automatic snow depth probe (magnaprobe).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Open Government Licence - Canada<br> (https://open.canada.ca/en/open-government-licence-canada)</p>

Experimentally increased snow depth affects High Arctic microarthropods inconsistently over two consecutive winters

<p>Climate change induced alterations to winter conditions may affect decomposer organisms controlling the vast carbon stores in northern soils. Soil microarthropods are abundant decomposers in Arctic ecosystems affecting soil carbon release through their activities. We studied whether increased snow depth affected microarthropods, and if effects were consistent over two consecutive winters. We sampled Collembola and soil mites from a snow accumulation experiment at Svalbard in early summer and used soil microclimatic data to explore to which aspects of winter climate change microarthropods are most sensitive. Community densities differed substantially between years and increased snow depth in winter had inconsistent effects. Increased snow depth hardly affected microarthropods in 2015, but decreased overall abundance and altered relative abundances of microarthropod groups and Collembola species after a milder winter in 2016. Although our increased snow depth treatment enhanced soil temperatures by 3.2 ⁰C in the snow cover periods, the only good predictors of microarthropod density changes were soil conditions around snowmelt. Our study underpins that extrapolation of observations of decomposer responses to altered winter climate conditions to future scenarios should be avoided when communities are only sampled on a single occasion, since effects of longer-term gradual changes in winter climate may be obscured by inter-annual weather variability.</p>

Snow depth calculation in Lake Winnipeg

<p># Snow_depth_LW<br>This repository is for snow depth calculation model in Lake Winnipeg.</p> <p>The meteorological data (i.e., air temperature, air pressure, wind speed, precipitation, and est) were used to calculate snow depth during winter at three major sites in Lake Winnipeg (STN 500 in South Basin, STN 502 in Narrow, and STN 505 in North Basin).</p> <p>A physical model were designed to simulate snow formation and melting on the ice.</p>
