Remotely sensed snow status analyzed for the paper titled "Multi-year data from satellite- and ground-based sensors show details and scale matter in assessing climate’s effects on wetland surface water, amphibians, and landscape conditions"

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

This comma-delimited dataset provides values for the remotely sensed status of snow on/off analyzed for field study sites described in the paper, "Multi-year data from satellite- and ground-based sensors show details and scale matter in assessing climate’s effects on wetland surface water, amphibians, and landscape conditions," by Sadinski et al. (submitted). These data provide an indication of snow presence at the spatial resolution of a 500-m square cell for each eight-day interval beginning in January and ending at the start July of each year from 2008-2012. The source for the data was the MOD10A2 snow product from the Terra Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite sensor. We extracted data for the cells associated with 35 field study sites for which we subsequently determined the timing of spring snow-free conditions. The data field labeled "BlockSite" links these values geospatially to a data field of the same name in an ESRI shapefile titled "Study_Block_Boundaries.shp" that delineates study blocks containing the field sites. Refer to the paper by Sadinski et al. (submitted) for details of the analyses performed.
