Inhibition of Snowfall by Pollution Aerosol
This is an NSF funded project with the Desert Research Institute's Storm Peak Laboratory (SPL) at
Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The project is examining the effect of
pollution aerosols on snowfall rate. The principal investigators at SPL
are Randy Borys and Doug Lowenthal, and at NCAR the main investigators are
Steve Cohn and Bill Brown. NCAR is deploying
an Integrated Sounding System
ISS with
MAPR, an advanced
wind profiler which will be used in this project to make high resolution
measurements of snowfall distribution and wind. We are also deploying an
array of surface meteorology instruments, radiosonde weather balloons, a
radiosonde mounted on a gondola at the Steamboat ski area, and a second
1299 MHz profiler pointing vertically only.
