hill slope with snow

Goals: Quantify spatial and temporal variability of snow and related properties

Key Elements: snow properties (depth, density, structure, stratigraphy, and SWE), soil moisture, snow surface roughness

Research Issues: Using NASA CLPX data to quantify spatial variability within three areas of Colorado, variability of soil moisture over homogeneous terrain, timing of the Winter Olympics

Meeting Time: Mondays 2:30 to 3:30 in CS 305
