TB Response to Wet Snow
Snow Depth/SWE:
03/25: SWE = 365 mm
but: Spectral Gradient = 30.8==> 146.9 mm (?)
Heavy Snow Storm (Mar. 19 & 20)
==> approximately 1.5 m new snow
==> estimated SWE ~ 150 mm
It was very warm before and during snow storm
==> wet snow layer in snow pack
Wetness measurement
==> wet Layer @ 50 to 60 cm depth
==> SWE = 122 to 161 mm
