Harvard Forest Snow Pillow since 2009

Water storage in snowpack is a key factor in the hydrological cycle of central New England. The Harvard Forest Snow Pillow provides continuous long-term measurements of the water content of snowpack (snow water equivalent) during the winter months. The snow pillow is located in a mature mixed hardwood stand with scattered conifers about 50 m north of the Nelson Brook Big Weir.

雪包储水量是新英格兰中部水文循环的关键因素。哈佛森林雪枕（snow pillow）可在冬季持续长期监测雪包的含水量，即雪水当量（snow water equivalent）。该雪枕坐落于纳尔逊溪大堰（Nelson Brook Big Weir）以北约50米处的成熟混交硬木林分中，林分内散布有针叶树。如需获取当前监测数据，请访问：http://harvardforest.fas.harvard.edu/meteorological-hydrological-stations。如需获取完整归档数据集，请访问：http://harvardforest.fas.harvard.edu:8080/exist/xquery/data.xq?id=hf155。
