Description

This data is collected for the feasibility study on snow water equivalent (SWE) retrieval using the GNSS refractometry method, described in Steiner et al. (2020).

GNSS Rinex data (1s sampling interval, multi-system, multi-frequency) from two high-end geodetic receivers (base=WJLR and rover=WJL0) are available for the complete 2016/17 season for the Swiss Alpine test sites Davos Weissfluhjoch, operated by the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF (WSL SLF), Switzerland. SWE reference data from a snow pillow, snow scale, and manual observations were provided by the WSL SLF. The data processing and the SWE estimation results are revealed in Steiner et al. (2018, 2020, 2022).
