Snow grain data for Niwot Ridge and Green Lakes Valley, 1995 - ongoing.

Snow pits were excavated at various locations on Niwot Ridge
and within the Green Lakes Valley. Temperature and snow density were
measured at various depths throughout the snow cover profiles in order
to characterize the temperature and snow water equivalent (SWE) of the
snowpack throughout the year. Snow density was measured at 10-cm
intervals using a 1000-ml cutter. Data on snow grain qualities were
collected beginning in the 1994-95 snow season. NOTE: This LTER data portal display does not contain important maintenance/log information.
