Meteorological and snow data collected during four sublimation and melt field experiments at the Sierra Nevada Ski resort (Spain), Spring 2024

Abstract

This dataset contains high‑resolution meteorological and snowpack measurements collected during four field experiments with sublimation/melting pans conducted in spring 2024 at the Sierra Nevada Ski Resort (Granada, Spain). The experiments were designed to quantify snow sublimation and melt dynamics under varying atmospheric, snow type and surface conditions in a high‑elevation Mediterranean environment. The field campaigns were carried out between April and May 2024 on selected ski‑resort plots representing typical late‑season snow conditions, groomed and ungroomed. Each experiment included continuous meteorological monitoring and repeated in‑situ snow observations to capture short‑term variations in the surface energy balance and snow mass loss processes. Instrumentation and Measurements Meteorological variables were recorded using research‑grade sensors connected to a Campbell Scientific CR200 datalogger, including: Air temperature and relative humidity (WXT510 Weather Transmitter Vaisala) Wind speed and direction (WXT510 Weather Transmitter Vaisala) Incoming shortwave radiation (CS300 Campbell Scientific piranometer) Atmospheric pressure (WXT510 Weather Transmitter Vaisala) Snowpack properties were monitored through: Manual snow depth measurements Snow density sampling 10-cm temperature measurements (109 Campbell Scientific Temperature probes) Meteorological data were logged at high temporal resolution (1 minute) and processed to ensure internal consistency and quality control. Each experiment corresponds to a separate field test with its own time window. The sampling frequency was consistent across experiments. Dataset Contents The repository includes: Raw and quality‑controlled meteorological time series Snowpack measurements for each experiment Intended Use These data support research on: Sublimation and melt processes in seasonal snowpacks Surface energy balance modeling Hydrological and cryospheric studies in Mediterranean mountain regions Validation of snow models and remote‑sensing products The dataset is released to support reproducibility and foster further research on snow hydrology and mountain climatology.
