Summary

These snow depth raster maps were generated from digital elevation models (DEMs) derived from light detection and ranging (lidar) data collected during multiple field campaigns in the three study areas near Winter Park, Colorado. Small, uncrewed aircraft systems (sUAS) collected lidar datasets to represent snow-covered and snow-free periods. More information regarding the sUAS used and data collection methods can be found in the Supplemental Information and process step sections of each study area individual metadata file.
