Description
Auxiliary files, code, and data for paper:
Observed snow depth trends in the European Alps 1971 to 2019; currently submitted at The Cryosphere
Auxiliary files:
- aux_paper.zip: Auxiliary figures to the paper (time series showing the consistency of averaging monthly mean snow depth of stations within 500 m elevation bins; times of seasonal snow depth and snow cover duration indices).
- aux_paper_crocus_comparison.zip: Time series comparing spatial statistical gap filling from paper to gap filling using snow depth assimilation into Crocus snow model (only for subset of stations in the French Alps)
- aux_paper_monthly_time_series.zip: Plots of monthly time series of snow depth, for each station.
- aux_paper_spatial_consistency.zip: Aggregate results from spatial consistency (statistical simulation using neighboring stations), and time series of observed versus simulated monthly snow depths.
Code (working copy, not cleaned, all written in R statistical software): code.zip
- to read in the different data sources
- to do quality checks and data processing
- to perform statistical analyses as in paper
- to produce figures and tables as in paper
Data (will be uploaded after peer review):
- Daily and monthly stations snow depth and depth of snowfall.
- > 2000 stations from Austria, Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, and Slovenia
- Meta data (name, latitude, longitude, elevation) in `file`, along with an interactive map `file`
- If you use the data you agree to adhere to the respective data provider's terms as listed in `file`
- The license terms especially (and additionally to any other terms of the single data providers) include: Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.
