Corrected Radiation Data

Senator Beck Basin Corrected Radiation (Water Years 2005-2023)

SnowEx20 Senator Beck Basin Transect Ground Surface Temperature, October 8, 2019 – July 19, 2020  

ArcGIS Data

We have created three GIS data layers:

  1. Senator Beck Basin Study Area watershed boundary
  2. Study plot locations
  3. Transect end points for the baseline vegetation monitoring program

Five additional GIS data groups are compiled from publicly available data. Those groups include:

  1. 10 m raster grids of digital elevation models (DEM)
  2. Vegetation coverage
  3. Geology
  4. Topography and place names
  5. Air photos

All GIS data are in ArcGIS file format (created with ArcGIS 10.1). Please contact Jeff Derry (jderry@snowstudies.org) and we can send you the GIS data. Files are too large to store on our website.
