Bridgedeck — SNODAS April 1 SWE at Bridge Locations (2003–2023)
Part of the bridgedeck dataset collection for US bridge deck deterioration research.
⚠️ Pipeline dependency — This dataset contains pre-sampled SNODAS snow data for all US bridge locations. It is shared to avoid re-downloading ~330 MB of annual SNODAS tar files from NSIDC.
Overview
April 1 Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) sampled at each unique US bridge location from NOAA's Snow Data Assimilation System (SNODAS), 2003–2023. April 1 SWE represents peak annual snowpack — a proxy for total winter snow exposure that drives freeze-thaw cycling, deicing salt application, and moisture infiltration.

Notes
- SNODAS only available from 2003 — years 2000–2002 have NaN
- ~4% null for bridges outside SNODAS coverage (coastal/border areas)
- Values range from 0 (no snow) to ~2000 mm (deep mountain snowpack)
