Abstract

This resource is a repository of the Unpiloted Aerial System (UAS) lidar-based maps of snow depth, local gradient of snow depth, and static variables (1-m spatial resolution) over open terrain and forests at the University of New Hampshire Thompson Farm Research Observatory, New Hampshire, United States (N 43.10892°, W 70.94853°, 35 m above sea level). Snow surface elevations were collected on January 23rd, 2019 and December 4th, 2019. The respective bare earth baseline elevations were collected following snowmelt on April 11th, 2019 and March 18th, 2020. The total area surveyed was approximately 0.11 sqkm, of which 0.7 sqkm was open field and 0.4 sqkm was mixed deciduous and coniferous forest. The static variables include plant functional type (0 = fields, 0.1 = deciduous needleleaf, and 0.2 = evergreen broadleaf) roughness (cm), slope (%), shadow hours (hours), aspect (degree), inter-pixel variability of lidar returns (STD; m), topographic compound index (TCI; unitless), and total local gradient of snow-off condition (LG; cm). Please see Cho et al. (2020) in Journal of Hydrology for full details.
