Abstract

The Summit-to-Shore cold weather observational network aims to capture the high-resolution spatial heterogeneity of snowpack and meteorological variables across an elevational transect of Vermont. Traditional meteorological measurements such as air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, net radiation; soil measurements such as soil heat flux, soil temperature, and moisture; and snowpack measurements such as snow water equivalent (SWE) and snow depth are measured across this transect. Stations span a range of landscape characteristics. Sites are located in the low elevations of the Champlain Valley on the shore of Lake Champlain, to mid-elevation sites in the Champlain Valley in the foothills of the Green Mountains, to the Mount Mansfield region at high elevations, to the Sleeper’s River Research Watershed in the eastern part of the state. Sites surrounding Mount Mansfield are mostly concentrated to the Ranch Brook watershed, which is a location of a long-term streamflow record as well as some historical snow surveys. Stations surrounding Mount Mansfield capture varying slope aspects, forest canopy types, elevations, as well as both the eastern and western slopes of the Mount Mansfield ridgeline. By using data from this observational network, we hope to characterize snowpack evolution in response to varying forest cover, topography, and thermodynamic drivers. These measurements will also provide high resolution data as validation for computational snowpack models. This will help augment research in a unique climate and snowpack that is relatively understudied with respect to snow research.
