Frost and Snow Depth Output

Frost, thaw and snow depths and snow water equivalent may be output at hourly or daily intervals. Also contained in this file is ice content (m3/m3) for each soil layer. Output to this file represents conditions at the end of the output interval, not the average over the interval. Under conditions where there are several alternating layers of frozen and thawed soil, the thaw depth represents the deepest soil containing no ice that is underlain by frozen soil; output frost depth is the deepest soil depth containing ice.
