Marcell Experimental Forest biweekly snow depth, frost depth, and snow water equivalent, 1962 - ongoing

This data package contains snowpack and frost data measured at the Marcell Experimental Forest from 1962–ongoing. The data came from five peatland/upland forest watersheds instrumented for hydrologic monitoring. Frost thickness and snowpack (snow water content, snowpack depth) are measured at 10 snowcourses that encompass three cover types (conifer, deciduous, open). The Marcell Experimental Forest in Itasca County, Minnesota, is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station, and was formally established in 1962 to study the ecology and hydrology of peatlands.

本数据包收录了1962年至今于马塞尔实验林（Marcell Experimental Forest）采集的雪层与冻土观测数据。该数据源自5个配备水文监测设备的泥炭地/高地森林流域。冻土厚度与雪层参数（雪水当量、雪深）通过10条雪样观测路线采集，覆盖针叶林、落叶林、开阔地三种覆被类型。明尼苏达州伊塔斯卡县的马塞尔实验林由美国农业部林务局（USDA Forest Service）北部研究站运营维护，该站点于1962年正式设立，旨在开展泥炭地生态学与水文学相关研究。
