Snow on the Alaska North Slope Grids
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.200

Summary
This data report is a summary of snow-survey information collected during a
trip to the Arctic Slope on April 9-14, 2003. The data were all collected as
part of the Biocomplexity of Frost-Boil Ecosystems study (Walker et al. 2003,
in press). Snow is an important factor affecting soil-surface temperatures
during the winter. These data will be used to help model the influence of snow
on frost heave. The data collected included 1. Snow depth and soil temperature
information from 106 permanent plots (releves) that are part of a vegetation
classification study. 2. Snow density and snow-water-equivalent (SWE)
measurements from the midpoints of the four sides of each of twelve 10x10-m
grids at Happy Valley, Sagwon, Franklin Bluffs, Deadhorse, West Dock, and Howe
Island. 3. Snow depths at every meter within the grids. 4. Snow profile
descriptions from each grid.
