hsdata: Daily snow depth data for a northern alpine station

Description Usage Format Examples

Description

Gapless daily snow depth observations for a winter season from 1.8. - 31.7. from a station situated in the northern earstern alps at an altitude of 600 m. For anonymization the years are intentionally set to 1900 - 1901.

This data series is free of gaps with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 1.3 meters. It is intended to be used as is as input data for the package nixmass to calculate snow water equivalent and bulk snow density with the delta.snow method and several empirical regression models from the literature.

Usage

1
data("hsdata")

Format

A data.frame named data with columns date and hs. The date column contains character strings of the format "YYYY-MM-DD" and is of class character. The hs column holds daily observed snow depths in meters and is of class numeric.
