Proposed work summaries
(Under construction)
Other Project Participant Pages
Princeton--Robert Phinney
- Snowpack summaries within the San Joaquin,
Kings River
and Kern River watersheds
(others watersheds via CDWR snow page). These show plots of snow water content (usually about 1/2 to
1/3rd the snow depth unless snow is pretty fresh) and temperature ranges
for selected stations over the past month.
- Location maps of automated sensors of CDWR in the Sierra. Data depends on sensor, but can include snow depth, snow water content, temperatures,
stream flows, reservior heights, and precipitation. (From
these maps type in the station code of the station you are interested
in into the bottommost input spot to get data):
- Streamflow information in California from the USGS (mostly Yosemite north).
Meetings
Field plans
Scientific permits within Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Parks,
especially for geophysical equipment and helicopter use, are
being coordinated by Steve Park with USNPS personnel (David Graber
and Annie Esperanza). At present, coordination with USNFS and BLM
are being conducted by individual researchers.
