Resources

• Grid point nomenclature

  The grid structure of each forest site and the respective nomenclature applied to label individual points within each grid are outlined here. Each point marks the location of snow depth measurements and co-located canopy structure parameters.

  Grid point nomenclature

• Coordinates data

  Includes coordinate information of each surveyed point (7 x 276 = 1932 forest points, 2 open areas)

  Coordinates data

• Canopy data

  Includes all canopy structure metrics computed at all surveyed locations

  Canopy data

• Snow depth data forest sites

  Contains all snow depth data acquired at all forest sites during winters 2012/13, 2013714 and 2014/15.

  Snow depth data forest sites

• Snow depth data open sites

  Contains all snow detph data accquired at open sites nearby the forest stands during the same period.

  Snow depth data open sites

• Meteo data to drive FSM2 model

  Includes meteorological driving data used to run the forest snow model FSM2, processed and parsed in text files that match the format required by FSM2. Separate files are available for each field area (Laret, Drusatscha and Ischlag) and season (2012/13, 2013/14, 2014/15). Each file includes data for the period from October 1st to May 31st at hourly resolution.
