Annual Snow Timing Index Rasters for the Western US and Alaska, WY2001-2019

Units are in calendar Day of Year (DOY) for SO and DSD, and in days for SCD. These data accompany a manuscript entitled, "Investigating the Relationship Between Peak Snow-Water Equivalent and Snow Timing Indices in the Western U.S. and Alaska".

A diagnostic model of peak SWE as a function of remotely sensed snow timing indices (the dataset provided here) was developed in the course of this study to address the following questions: 1) Are peak SWE and snow timing related?; 2) How does this relationship vary across the western United States?; and 3) What meteorological and topographical conditions affect this relationship?
