Terrestrial Scanning Lidar Derived Land/Snow Surfaces

Surface grids of the snow, ground, and vegetation surfaces derived from the six terrestrial scanning lidars that were deployed on three flux towers near Crested Butte, Colorado for the SOS (Sublimation of Snow) campaign. The data were collected to support the analysis of snow depth, snow surface variability, snow redistributions, and sublimation particularly from blowing snow.
