Snow Depth and Density at Agricultural Stations in Russia and ex-USSR (SnAS-Russia) (Beta version)

This datasets are mainly based on information published during a long period. There are several types of these documents, but the most usual document is 'Agrometeorology Yearbook'. These 'Yearbooks' exist for different regions of ex-USSR republics and contain station soil moisture observations. They may be found in public libraries and archives of regional meteorological canters of Russia and others independent republics of the CIS and also in Central Library of Agriculture Science (Moscow) and in archive of the World Data Centre (Obninsk, Russia). The observations are taken 3 times per month (8th, 18th, 28th of a month) during warm season. All aspects of operational observations may be found in "Manual of hydro- and meteorological stations and posts" vol.11, 3-d edition, Hydrometeoizdat, Leningrad, 1973本数据集主要基于长期公开的信息汇编而成。该类文档涵盖多种类型，其中最常见的为《农业气象年鉴（Agrometeorology Yearbook）》。此类年鉴覆盖前苏联加盟共和国的不同区域，收录了台站土壤湿度观测数据。其馆藏资源分布于俄罗斯及其他独联体（CIS）独立共和国的区域气象中心公共图书馆与档案馆，同时也可在莫斯科农业科学中央图书馆以及俄罗斯奥布宁斯克世界数据中心档案馆中获取。 观测时段为暖季，每月开展三次观测，具体日期为每月8日、18日与28日。所有业务观测的相关规范可查阅《水文气象站与观测台手册（Manual of hydro- and meteorological stations and posts）》第11卷第3版，水文气象出版社（Hydrometeoizdat），列宁格勒，1973年。
