Summary & Purpose
This dataset contains observations from three Idaho meteorological stations used as part of a US Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Lab (CRREL) snow strength project. The purpose of these data is to measure the meteorological variables that impact the trafficability and supportability of a seasonal snowpack and will be used as forcing data to model snow strength across time and space. Measured data include snow depth, snow water equivalent (SWE), air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, snow temperature, soil temperature, and radiation.
