Mobile cosmic ray sensing to measure snow-water equivalent and soil moisture in wildfire areas
This project will use a mobile cosmic ray neutron sensor to repeatedly measure snow-water equivalent (SWE) and soil moisture across wildfire-impacted and nearby unburned areas in the Rocky Mountains. The work will analyze how these water patterns vary by elevation and across the annual water year cycle, including differences in snowmelt infiltration versus direct runoff. Findings will support …
The goals for this project are to collect repeat cosmic ray sensor transects of SWE and soil moisture in the Rocky Mountains, identify differences in water year annual trends between burned and unburned areas based on elevation, and partition snowmelt into infiltration and direct runoff to infor…
