Summary
Abstract:
[For a more detailed metadata record, see:
http://culter.colorado.edu:1030/exec/.extracttoolA?ablamean.nc] Lowering of the snowpack surface by ablation (melt) was estimated on a biweekly to weekly basis in the Green Lakes Valley during the summer months. Poles were driven into the snowpack to form transects in several snow-accumulation areas (east face of Arikaree Peak, talus on the north side ...  Geographic Coverage

Quality
All data refer to vertical lowering of the snowpack
surface (cm or cm/day). Unreduced data prior to 1993 (i.e. 1969-70 and 1981-92) are archived with Nel Caine (Room 213, RL#1) in hard copy form. Unreduced data after 1992 can be found in /data1/Datman/Nwtdata/ablatraw.nc. Reduced (mean) ablation data for the period 1969-1992 were entered directly using a ...
