Tower-based C-band radar measurements of an alpine snowpack

This repository contains the data presented in the following paper: Brangers, I., Marshall, H.-P., De Lannoy, G., Dunmire, D., Matzler, C., and Lievens, H.: Tower-based C-band radar measurements of an alpine snowpack, EGUsphere [preprint], https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-2023-2927, 2023. 

The data consist of C-band tower based radar data measured in the Idaho Rocky mountains during the snow seasons of 2021-2022 and 2022-2023. The site lies within a local ski area called 'Bogus Basin'. Information about the data collection and processing is presented in the aforementioned paper.

The data contains arrays with the timestamps of the measurements, the sampling frequency, and matrices of the time-domain traces of radar bakcscatter at 4 channels (rows=samples/timedomain bins, increases with distance from radar; columns=traces, 1 for each ~hourly timestep ). An example script on how to read and process the data using Matlab is included.
