Abstract
Here we present the design of a Summit-to-Shore observational snow network to capture the spatial heterogeneity of snowpack. This network aims to monitor snowpack characteristics and meteorological variables at a high spatial and temporal resolution across an elevational transect in the Vermont. Traditional meteorological measurements combined with detailed snowpack measurements will provide high resolution data as validation for computational snowpack models. By combining data from this observational network and remote sensing efforts, we hope to characterize snowpack evolution in response to varying forest cover, topography, and thermodynamic drivers. This will help augment research in an environment that is understudied with respect to snow research.
