Snow Pit Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/633.003

Summary
Snow Pit data acquired from manual snow pits following protocols and symbology
from the International Classification for Snow on the Ground (see document
attached titled IntClassificationSnowOnGround.pdf) collected during the
Sublimation of Snow (SOS) field project. Snow pits were dug approximately
every 24 to 48 hours from 6 January to 16 March 2023. The main measurements
taken from each snow pit included total snow depth, surface temperature, snow
temperature (every 10 cm), snow density (10 cm average), snow crystal size,
snow crystal type, and layer hardness. See the readme file for more detail.
