Snow depth, soil moisture and soil temperature are measured at the upper Providence meteorological site, from a location with a flat aspect, using a Campbell Scientific logger to control peripheral devices. Snow depth is measured at 5 nodes in the open, at the drip edge and under canopies of an incense-cedar and white fir tree. Soil moisture and temperature are measured at 10, 30, 60, and 90 cm depths coincident with the snow depth nodes. A 10 watt solar panel provides power for monitoring at 10 minute intervals. Data processing compresses to hourly values.

The upper Providence meteorological site (approximately 1980 m) is located within the Providence subcatchment P303.
