Alternative title(s)

633.013

Abstract

Raw point clouds from the terrestrial scanning lidar #6 (L6) that was deployed on the downwind flux tower near Crested Butte, Colorado for the SOS (Sublimation of Snow) campaign. The raw point clouds provide information about the distribution of blowing snow particles in the air in addition to valuable information related to vegetation structure and spring vegetation growth.
