SnowEx Data Pledge
The NASA SnowEx organizing team is committed to creating extensive ground-based and remote sensing snow calibration and validation data sets for all SnowEx field campaigns. To address the human uncertainties, an inherent trade-off to manually collected data sets of this size, we ensure all core data sets follow a standard sampling protocol and are reviewed for standardization following the data collection period. Objective data standardization criteria are documented during the data delivery process and published with the data set products. This ensures data provenance and transparency for the legacy data sets created to improve the remote sensing of snow.
