Discrete Snowpack Measurements of Snow Density and Snow Water Equivalent in the Upper Colorado River Basin, 2020-22
Discrete snowpack data were collected during winter field campaigns from 2020 to 2022. These data were collected as part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Next Generation Water Observing System (NGWOS) Upper Colorado River Basin project focusing on the relation between snow dynamics and water resources. After a snow pit was dug, the pit face was analyzed for discrete snowpack measurements. Measurements taken were mass, temperature, and total depth. Using the mass values taken with a density cutter, the snow density and snow water equivalent were calculated. These data are released in a comma separated value file.
