  1. Snow Data and Snowmelt Issues Basis of presentations Wednesday afternoon and all day Thursday

  2. Snow Data and Snowmelt Issues • How to maximize SWE data available to forecasters • Collection of accurate SWE data • Use of wind shields on NWS precipitation gauges • MAT computational scheme in NWSRFS • Lack of high elevation temperature data • Forecasting diurnal fluctuation in flow/stage+ • Use of snow depth observations in NWSRFS • Use of SNODAS information in NWSRFS • Use of SNODAS output as a snowmelt hazard alert tool • Limitations of SNOW-17 to account for variability in energy balance • IFP displays of more snow parameters

  3. Forecasting diurnal fluctuation in flow/stage
