The WFJ_DailySMP dataset contains daily SnowMicroPen (SMP) measurements conducted throughout the winter seasons 2015-2025 (ongoing) at the Weissfluhjoch research site, Davos, Switzerland. The measurement program DailySMP started in winter 2015/2016 during which the measurement protocol was established as part of the RHOSSA campaign, described in the related publication.
Since then, measurements have been repeated every winter as part of the standard snow monitoring program by the PhD students at SLF. All published SMP files have undergone manual quality control by an expert, including a supervised detection of the snow surface, which is included in the dataset.
In addition to the raw data, we provide a rudimentary post-processing workflow in which the derived SSA and density profiles are adjusted by the total snow height obtained from the adjacent IMIS snow station (https://www.slf.ch/en/avalanche-bulletin-and-snow-situation/measured-values/description-of-automated-stations/) and their evolution is plotted over time. Please refer to the README for detailed information on how to get started.
