BOREAS HYD-03 Snow Depth Data: 1996

The BOREAS HYD-03 team collected several data sets related to the hydrology of forested areas. This data set contains measurements of snow depth, snow density in 3-cm intervals, an integrated snow pack density and snow water equivalent (SWE), and snow pack physical properties from snow pit evaluation taken in 1994 and 1996. The data were collected from several sites in both the SSA and the NSA. A variety of standard tools were used to measure the snowpack properties, including a meter stick (snow depth), a 100 cc snow density cutter, a dial stem thermometer and the Canadian snow sampler as used by HYD-04 to obtain a snow pack-integrated measure of SWE. This study was undertaken to predict spatial distributions of snow properties important to the hydrology, remote sensing signatures, and the transmissivity of gases through the snow.

BOREAS HYD-03研究团队收集了多组与森林区域水文相关的数据集。本数据集包含1994年与1996年通过雪坑评估获取的雪深、3cm间隔的雪密度、整合雪层密度、雪水当量（Snow Water Equivalent, SWE）以及雪层物理特性数据。数据采集自SSA与NSA的多个观测站点。测量雪层特性时采用了多种标准工具：包括用于测量雪深的米尺、100cc雪密度切割器、表盘式杆状温度计，以及HYD-04团队曾使用的加拿大雪采样器，该采样器用于获取雪层整合的雪水当量测量值。本研究旨在预测对水文过程、遥感特征以及气体透过雪层的透射率具有重要意义的雪特性空间分布。
