MARC recordDensity of new snow in the central Sierra Nevada / Bruce J. McGurk, Dave Azuma, Richard Kattelmann.
| Title: | Density of new snow in the central Sierra Nevada / Bruce J. McGurk, Dave Azuma, Richard Kattelmann. |
| Author(s): | McGurk, Bruce J. Azuma, Dave. Kattelmann, Richard. |
| Date: | 1988. |
| In: | Western Snow Conference. Proceedings. (1988.), Vol. 56th Annual Meeting (1988) |
| Abstract: | Results confirmed unsuitability of 10% density value for converting snowfall into snow water equivalent, or vice versa, at site near Soda Springs, CA. For water years 1984-86, new snow density averaged 12%. Regression equation relating air temperature to density was estimated, but coefficient of determination was only 27%. Local upper air temperature might be better predictor of snow density than average surface air temperature. |
