| hasSummary |
-
A daily gridded North American snowfall data with focus on the
quality of the interpolated product is archived in this dataset.
Daily snowfall amounts from National Weather Service Cooperative
Observer Program stations and Meteorological Service of Canada
surface stations are interpolated to 1 degree by 1 degree grids and
examined for data record length and quality. The interpolation is
validated spatially and temporally through the use of stratified
sampling and k-fold cross-validation analyses. Interpolation errors
average around 0.5 cm and range from less than 0.01 to greater than
2.5 cm. For most locations, this is within the measurement
sensitivity. Grid cells with large variations in elevation
experience higher errors and should be used with caution.
