The dataset include ground-based passive microwave brightness temperature, multi-angle brightness temperature, ten-minute 4-component radiation and snow temperature, daily snow pit data and hourly meteorological data observed at Altay base station(lon:88.07、lat: 44.73)from November 27, 2015 to March 26, 2016. Daily snow pit parameters include: snow stratification, stratification thickness, density, particle size, temperature.
These data are stored in five NetCDF files: TBdata. nc, TBdata-multiangle. nc, ten-minute 4 component radiation and snow temperature. nc, hourly meteorological and soil data. nc and daily snow pit data.nc.
TBdata. nc is brightness temperature at 3 channels for both polarizations automatically collected by a six-channel dual polarized microwave radiometer RPG-6CH-DP. The contents include Year, month, day, hour, minute, second, Tb1h, Tb1v, Tb18h, Tb18v, Tb36h, Tb36v, incidence angle, azimuth angle.
TBdata-multiangle.nc is 7 groups of multi-angle brightness temperatures at 3 channels for both polarizations. The contents include Year, month, day, hour, minute, second, Tb1h, Tb1v, Tb18h, Tb18v, Tb36h, Tb36v, incidence angle, azimuth angle.
The ten-minute 4 component radiation and snow temperature.nc contains 4 component radiation and layered snow temperatures. The contents include Year, month, day, hour, minute, SR_DOWN, SR_UP, LR_DOWN, LR_UP, T_Sensor, ST_0cm, ST_5cm, ST_15cm, ST_25cm, ST_35cm, ST_45cm, ST_55cm.
The hourly meteorological and soil data.nc contains hourly weather data and layered soil data. The contents include Year, month, day, hour, Tair, Wair, Pair, Win, SM_10cm, SM_20cm, Tsoil_5cm, Tsoil_10cm, Tsoil_15 cm, Tsoil_20cm.
The daily snow pit data.nc. is manual snow pit data. The observation time was 8:00-10:100 am local time. The contents include Year, month, day, snow depth, thickness_layer1, thickness_layer2, thickness_layer3, thickness_layer4, thickness_layer5, thickness_layer6, Long_layer1, Short_layer1, Long_layer2, Short_layer2, Long_layer3, Short_layer3, Long_layer 4, Short_layer4, Long_layer5, Short_layer5, Long_layer6, Short_layer 6, Stube, Snow shovel_0-10, Snow shovel _10-20, Snow shovel _20-30, Snow shovel _30-40, Snow shovel _40-50, Snow fork_5, Snow fork _10, Snow fork _15, Snow fork_20, Snow fork_25, Snow fork_30, Snow fork_35, Snow fork_40, Snow fork_45, Snow fork_50, shape1, shape2, shape3, shape4, shape5,
