CENMET (Snow Moisture and Depth)

Site description: Clearcut Nov 1986, natural regeneration

Latitude: 44-14-36 Longitude: 122- 8-30 Elevation (MSL): 1018 meters

Aspect: 260 degrees Slope: 12 degrees

Measurement period: 19941202 - Present

Comments:

Fine Resolution Variables:
15 Oct 1996 to Present:
5 minute snow moisture in water equivalence
23 Jan 1998 to Present:
5 minute snow depth

Periodic measurement variables:
02 Dec 1994 to Present
Periodic measurement of depth and calculated snow water (probe 02)
Periodic measurement of snow moisture and depth (probe 03)
- average snow course measurement along transect near the station

Notes: The high resolution 5 minute data file is reduced to eliminate points
when both snow moisture and depth are unchanging, and is displayed
with snow water equivalence value. These sensors were initially installed
on 27 Aug 1996, but sensor problems prevented proper functioning of
the snow pillow until Fall 1996 and snow depth sensor until 1998.
CR10 samples every 15 seconds.
