USGS: Rocky Mountain Regional Snowpack Chemistry - Snow Bowl, Montana - Snow depth and snow water equivalent

Entry ID: USGS-RockyMountainSnowpackChemistryMonitoringSnowDepthSWE-SnowBowl

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: Snowpacks collect atmospheric deposition throughout the snowfall season and offer a unique opportunity to obtain a composite sample of the chemistry of most (roughly November through April) of the annual precipitation at high elevations (> 1800 meters). This project was created to sample the full snowpack at selected sites to determine sources of acid deposition to sensitive mountain watersheds. ...

Purpose: OBJECTIVES:
To develop methods to accurately represent seasonal snowpack chemistry of a variety of compounds in single, annual samples where repeated sampling is possible in subsequent years.

To maintain year-to-year sampling of a core group of 50 sampling locations to develop long-term trends in atmospheric deposition throughout the region.

To establish background concentrations of major ions, ...
