"Campaigns are participant driven and produce community wide data. Without our vast community, we wouldn't have the robust ground-based observations that are part of the SnowEx collection. Discover the ground-based calibration and validation measurements central to the SnowEx field campaigns. Collecting in situ measurements require hours of manual labor and attention to detail. While observers adhere to standard protocols, they often rely on their best judgment and collective expertise when facing challenging sampling conditions."
