Team Members Matthew Sturm (CRREL) Doug Kane (UAF) Glen Liston (CSU) Chris Hiemstra (CSU) Sveta Berezovskaya (UAF) Daqing Yang (UAF) Konosuke Suigura (JAMSTEC) Philip Marsh (Environment Canada-NWRI) Tiksi (with NOAA) A Prototype Network for Measuring Arctic winter Precipitation and Snow Cover (Snow-Net)
Progress Barrow on-line (Aug.08) Imnavait on-line (Oct.08) Site visits to date: Barrow(3); Imnavait(2) http://werc.engr.uaf.edu/~sveta/SnowNet/:
Coordination-Integration • With G. Shaver & D. Bret-Harte on winter sublimation at Imnavait. • With Taniel Uttal (NOAA-IASOA) on implementing snow measurements & instrumentation at Tiksi. • With Mark Ivey (DOE-ARM) and Jessica Cherry (UAF) on hot plate precipitation gauges (Barrow). • With Phil Marsh to obtain permits for implementation of instruments at Trail Creek Valley, Yukon Terr. • With K. Suigiura to integrate IORGC (JAMSTEC) blowing snow instruments at Barrow site.
Future Plans • Continue snow measurements through May. • Compute water balances at Barrow and Imnavait for 2007-2008 season with error analysis. • Build instrumentation for expansion to Canada. • Assess hot plate sensor and decide to use/not use. • Construct rotating sonic sounder. • Interface AON-Snow-Net work with NOAA efforts on precipitation in Alaska
