Description

The dataset contains the data inputs for the electromagnetic model:

  • the snow density profile down to 20 m depth (measured in 2010)
  • the snow SSA profile down to 20 m depth (measured in 2010)
  • the snow temperature profile down to 20 m depth (measured from 1 December 2006 to 4 October 2011)

The dataset contains also the data retrieved from satellite:

  • the retrieved surface snow density from AMSR-E satellite (obtained from 18 June 2002 to 4 October 2011)

The dataset contains finally the data measured in situ to compare with the data retrieved from satellite:

  • the surface snow density from CALVA program (measured from 3 February 2010 to 4 October 2011)
  • the surface snow density from PNRA program measured in snow pits (measured from 18 December 2007 to 4 October 2011)
  • the surface snow density from PNRA program measured next to stakes (measured from 9 May 2008 to 4 October 2011)
