Title: Continuous Snow Depth, Intensive Site 1, Barrow, Alaska

Dataset ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.5440/1163347· OSTI ID:1163347

Continuous Snow depth data are being collected at several points within four intensive study areas in Barrow. These data assist in the calculation of the energy balance at the land surface and are also useful as inputs into modeling activities. Dataset DOI: 10.5440/1163347; https://doi.org/10.5440/1163347 Measurements at AREA A (all heights listed are relative to the land surface): Location of the Site A station: N71* 16.888', W156* 36.647' * Snow Depth @ Polygon Margin [585558.23E 7910483.01N] UTM Zone 4 * Snow Depth @ Polygon Trough [585560.17E 7910486.55N] UTM Zone 4 Site A is located on polygonal permafrost and co-located with micromet surface measurements and subsurface measurements.
