Snow cover in the European Alps: Station observations of snow depth and depth of snowfall
Year: 2020
Type: dataset
Abstract: Auxiliary files, code, and data for paper published in The Cryosphere: Observed snow depth trends in the European Alps 1971 to 2019 https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-15-1343-2021 Auxiliary files: aux_paper.zip: Auxiliary figures to the paper (time series showing the consistency of averaging monthly mean snow depth of stations within 500 m elevation bins; times of seasonal snow depth and snow cover duration indices). aux_paper_crocus_comparison.zip: Time series comparing spatial statistical gap filling from paper to gap filling using snow depth assimilation into Crocus snow model (only for subset of stations in the French Alps) aux_paper_monthly_time_series.zip: Plots of monthly time series of snow depth, for each station. aux_paper_spatial_consistency.zip: Aggregate results from spatial consistency (statistical simulation using neighboring stations), and time series of observed versus simulated monthly snow depths. Code (working copy, not cleaned, all written in R statistical software): code.zip to read in the different data sources to do quality checks and data processing to perform statistical analyses as in paper to produce figures and tables as in paper Data: Daily and monthly stations snow depth and depth of snowfall, as .zips, grouped by data provider. Information on column content is provided in separate files "data_[daily|monthly]_00_column_names_content.txt". > 2000 stations from Austria, Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, and Slovenia Meta data (name, latitude, longitude, elevation) in "meta_all.csv", along with an interactive map "meta_interactive_map.html", and column information in "meta_00_column_names_content.txt". If you use the data you agree to adhere to the respective data provider's terms as listed in "00_DATA_LICENSE_AND_TERMS.PDF" The license terms especially (and additionally to any other terms of the single data providers) include: Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.
