    • SnowEx23 Laser Snow Microstructure Specific Surface Area Data V001

    Metadata Updated: October 30, 2025

    Preliminary: This data set reports vertical profiles of snow reflectance and specific surface area (SSA) in Alaska, USA, in two regions, the Fairbanks region characterized by spruce taiga forest and the arctic coast region characterized by coastal tundra. Reflectance was measured in situ using a 1310 nm and a 945 nm integrating sphere laser device and converted to SSA.
