Abstract

The data collected in this resource was collected as part of the research efforts of Braedon Dority and Jeff Horsburgh as part of the CIROH project: Advancing Snow Observation Systems to Improve Operational Streamflow Prediction Capabilities. The focus of this dataset is on low-cost snow stations installed near the Tony Grove Ranger Station up Logan Canyon in Northern Utah. These stations were being prototyped while in use for the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 winters, collecting data on snow depth, shortwave and longwave radiation, air temperature, soil temperature, and soil volumetric water content.

How to use the files in this HydroShare resource

Download and extract the ZIP file. Within the folder there will be a Python file that can be used to look at the data found in the "raw" folder. The "raw" directory will contain two folders and a file. The two folders are raw data for each of the two field seasons data was collected in. Within each of those are all the individual files collected over the each season and a folder where all the data has been compiled into singular data files by station. The "densities" file found in the "raw" folder contains manual density measurements made at each of the five sites with the associated SNOTEL measurements.

The Python file currently contains code for looking at the 2024-2025 season. Adjustments would need to be made to look at the first field season.
