Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory

15 Feb, 11 AM - 18 Feb, 04 AM

We will be measuring water and carbon dioxide fluxes from the snow surface at the eight Caltrans snow fences that we have been using during our summer VESR research. We will be assessing the role of snow depth, air temperature, wind speed, solar radition, and vapor pressure deficit on sublimation of water from the snow surface. We will use these measurements to validate a simple one-dimensional model of sublimation. We will also be measuring the flux of carbon dioxide from the snow surface and the soil surface under the snow. Again, these will be compared for different snow depths at the snow fences. A secondary goal of these experiments will be to test four different methods for making these measurements.
