Daily SnowModel Outputs Covering the ABoVE Core Domain, 3-km Resolution, 1980-2020
This dataset provides daily SnowModel simulation outputs on a 3-km grid for the period 1 September 1980 through 31 August 2020, covering the Core ABoVE Domain. The daily outputs include: air temperature (deg C), relative humidity (%), wind speed (m/s), wind direction (deg from True North), total precipitation (rain+snow) (m), rainfall (m), snowfall (m), snow melt (m), snow sublimation (m), runoff (m), surface temperature (deg C), bulk snowpack thermal resistance (K/W), snow depth (m), snow density (kg/m3), and snow-water-equivalent (SWE) depth (m). Model data inputs included land cover and topography, ground-based observations of snow, remote sensing observations of snow from satellites and aircraft, and meteorological forcing data from weather stations and reanalysis data. The SnowModel includes the processing modules MicroMet, Enbal, SnowDunes, SnowAssin, SnowPack, and SnowTran-3D. The data are provided in NetCDF format.
