Data provided by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
From fall 2021 through summer 2023, NOAA and research partners conducted a field study (SPLASH - the Study of Precipitation, the Lower Atmosphere and Surface for Hydrometeorology). This field study established a state-of-the-art observing network in the East River watershed of the Colorado mountains with a goal of advancing weather and water prediction capabilities in areas with complex terrain. The ultimate goal of this project is improved prediction of weather and water in the Colorado mountains and beyond to inform societal preparedness and response.
This dataset contains three-times daily estimates of snow depth at the Brush Creek and Kettle Ponds sites. Estimates are made via camera and manual identification of marks on a seven foot snow stake. Because the estimates are subjective, they should only be used to supplement analysis.
