These data include snow depth and snow water equivalence (SWE) for the 2022 and 2023 water years during 16 separate field campaigns. The field area is comprised of 311 surveyed points in, on the perimeter of, and surrounding six forest openings next to Coal Creek off Coal Bank Pass in the San Juan Mountains in Southwest Colorado, USA. These measurements were taken to look at the relationship between snow accumulation and snow melt patterns between forest gaps of various sizes, and forest edges of various sizes (edge of forest gaps). Canopy metrics, including canopy height, total gap area, mean distance to canopy, canopy closure, leaf area index, non-directional edginess, canopy edginess with a southern aspect, and...
Canopy density and canopy structure metrics were derived for the San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado from aerial point cloud data at a 1-meter (m) resolution. The aerial lidar data originated from the ‘CO_Southwest_NRCS_2018’ project prepared by Quantum Spatial for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) from a series of flyovers between 2018 and 2019 and were made available in 2021. Canopy density metrics include Canopy Closure (CC) and Leaf Area Index (LAI). Canopy Structure metrics include total gap area, mean distance to canopy, canopy edginess to the south and canopy edginess to the north. These data were used to partition 100 m grid cells over the same area for a snow melt model called SNOWMODEL. Each grid...
This data release contains SnowModel snow evolution simulation output from water years 2022 to 2023 (October 1, 2021, through September 30, 2023) on a 100-meter (m) geospatial grid for a 3 kilometer (km) × 2 km model domain near Coal Creek off Coal Bank Pass in the San Juan Mountains in southwest Colorado, USA. The three quantities simulated for this release were snow water equivalent for the standard model configuration (swe_standard), snow water equivalent for an open canopy model configuration (swe_open), and incoming shortwave radiation for the open canopy model configuration (qsin_open). The simulation used to produce these outputs was forced using meteorology from the National Land Data Assimilation System...
