"Recent decreases in snow water storage in western North America" is out today: nature.com/articles/s43247-0… Here we develop a new metric for evaluating the storage of water in the snowpack as a function of the timing and magnitude of precipitation relative to water availability.
Recent decreases in snow water storage in western North America

Recent decreases in snow water storage in western North America

Communications Earth & Environment - The Snow Storage Index – which combines the magnitude of precipitation with the delay in water input from the timing of a melting snowpack – has...

You probably didn’t realize dust in Arizona and New Mexico impacts your life here in Colorado. But it does — and here's why. cosun.co/42Yfad4

Susan Behery once saw dust falling from the sky in the manner of rain. It was so heavy, she said, it splatted when it hit the ground. My latest @ColoradoSun story, about how dust from the Southwest is robbing the #ColoradoRiver of snowmelt, is out today. coloradosun.com/2023/05/18/d…
Colorado's above-average snowpack has an enemy: Out-of-state dust

Dust from the Southwest is wringing water out of the Colorado River. A scientist says state and local leaders need to address it.

In today's Daily Sun-Up podcast, reporter Tracy Ross talks about research into how the layer of dust that falls on the Colorado high country impacts the snowpack and runoff. open.spotify.com/episode/5UO…

Each year, Airborne Snow Observatories uses lasers, planes and their own two feet to calculate how much water is in the mountain snowpack, where most of the state’s water supply is stored before it melts each spring. cosun.co/42D3lsD

Blowing dust is underway across portions of southeast Utah and southwest Colorado. We expect this plume of dust will expand as the winds remain gusty into the evening hours. Low visibility is possible in spots. #cowx #utwx

The data from last week's Airborne Snow Observatories survey will provide western Colorado water managers with unprecedented information about spring snowmelt and runoff in the Roaring Fork Watershed. @airbornesnow aspendailynews.com/news/airb…

No place to study dust on snow like the San Juans and no person to learn about studying it with than Jeff Derry, head of @snowstudies and codos.org Dust is about water and water is about dust. Story forthcoming in @ColoradoSun
