Knowledge graph centered on SNOTEL and cooperative observer networks with 75 nodes and 257 connections. Top connected: The East River, Colorado, Watershed: A mountainous, climate change, snowpack persistence, groundwater storage dynamics, leaf water content.
Comprehensive deployment of precipitation, atmospheric, and surface energy budget sensors across elevation and topographic gradients in complex terrain. Network includes core sites with full instrument suites and secondary sites with targeted measurements to characterize spatial variability.
Synthesized from method descriptions across 6 papers using this protocol.
Steps below were extracted from the most recent peer-reviewed implementation of this protocol in the corpus — The short life of upvalley wind in a high-altitude valley in the Colorado Rocky Mountains (2025), Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres. The protocol was originally introduced by The East River Community Observatory Data Collection: Diverse, multiscale data from a mountainous watershed in the East River, Colorado (2020), Authorea. Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.
