Discrete Snow Core Measurements of Snow Depth, Density, and Snow Water Equivalent in the Upper Colorado River Basin, 2020-22
Discrete snow data were collected during multiple winter field campaigns from 2021 to 2022. This data was collected as part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Next Generation Water Observing System (NGWOS) project focusing on the relation between snow dynamics and the water cycle of a basin. A Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) Coring Tube was used to measure snow depth and mass of snow within the core. These values were used to calculate snow density and snow water equivalent of the core. These data were released in a comma separated value file.
