Snow Studies

CSAS conducts research and 24/7 monitoring that captures weather, snowpack, radiation, soils, plant community & hydrologic signals of regional climate trends

Learned at our 4CAQG mtg today that there are no longer any active PM2.5 monitoring in the Four Corners region that are used to check compliance w/USEPA stds. #airquality

Microplastic shards plague every Colorado river. Here’s where, and how they get there. https://t.co/fzTaKmzFsC

"Recent decreases in snow water storage in western North America" is out today:

Here we develop a new metric for evaluating the storage of water in the snowpack as a function of the timing and magnitude of precipitation relative to water availability.

You probably didn’t realize dust in Arizona and New Mexico impacts your life here in Colorado. But it does — and here's why.

Susan Behery once saw dust falling from the sky in the manner of rain. It was so heavy, she said, it splatted when it hit the ground. My latest @ColoradoSun story, about how dust from the Southwest is robbing the #ColoradoRiver of snowmelt, is out today.

The Colorado Sun just posted a thorough report of dust-on-snow and what it means for Colorado and beyond:https://t.co/0dKhem9Qt7

In today's Daily Sun-Up podcast, reporter Tracy Ross talks about research into how the layer of dust that falls on the Colorado high country impacts the snowpack and runoff. https://t.co/fo493W6ve2

Each year, Airborne Snow Observatories uses lasers, planes and their own two feet to calculate how much water is in the mountain snowpack, where most of the state’s water supply is stored before it melts each spring. https://t.co/hCAZ0UcOns

@LukeRunyon @awhager Finally sublimation is getting some attention, well done.

With crystal clear skies this morning here is a look at the snowpack across the Rockies in real time. #cowx #utwx

@NWSGJT Seeing it in Silverton

[NWS Grand Junction @NWSGJT]

Blowing dust is underway across portions of southeast Utah and southwest Colorado. We expect this plume of dust will expand as the winds remain gusty into the evening hours. Low visibility is possible in spots. #cowx #utwx

The data from last week's Airborne Snow Observatories survey will provide western Colorado water managers with unprecedented information about spring snowmelt and runoff in the Roaring Fork Watershed. @airbornesnow https://t.co/a621QnnTbN
