WFJ_RHOSSA: Multi-instrument stratigraphy data for the seasonal evolution of an alpine snowpack

The WFJ_RHOSSA dataset contains multi-instrument, multi-resolution snow stratigraphy measurements for the seasonal evolution of the snowpack from the Weissfluhjoch research site, Davos, Switzerland.

The measurements were initiated during the RHOSSA field campaign conducted in the winter season 2015–2016 with a focus on density (RHO) and specific surface area (SSA) measurements.

The Instruments and methods used in the campaign at different spatial and temporal resolution are: SnowMicroPen, Density Cutter, IceCube, Traditional profiles, Stability tests and X-ray tomography. The measurements are complemented by simulation data from the model SNOWPACK.
