Intercomparison of snow water equivalent products in the Sierra Nevada California using airborne snow observatory data and ground observations

Intercomparison of snow water equivalent products in the Sierra Nevada California using airborne snow observatory data and ground observations

Whereas many independent methods are used to estimate snow water equivalent (SWE) and its spatial distribution and seasonal variability, a need exists for a systematic characterization of inter-model differences at annual, seasonal, and regional scales necessary to quantify the associated uncertaint...
