Magnaprobe snow and melt pond depth measurements from the 2019-2020 MOSAiC expedition

At MOSAiC, we collected snow depths by Magnaprobe - an automated snow depth probe, throughout the seasons, most often alongside electromagnetic measurements for deriving total thickness. Most of the data were collected routinely along established transect lines and loops to create timeseries. Some data were collected opportunistically e.g., during 'events'. In addition, several repeated ridge transects were established. During the melt season (June – September 2020), the Magnaprobe was used to measure snow depth, surface scatter layer depth and melt pond depth. This repository includes data obtained by Magnaprobe, sea ice thickness derived by subtracting snow depth from co-located total thickness measurements, a descriptive document including maps (Magnaprobe Repository Description), and a table of with other transect-mode measurements at MOSAiC (Action Log Table): remote sensing instruments, snow structure measurements etc
