Working Groups

The Action will produce freely available deliverables, only achievable through multidisciplinary interactions:

A web-based overview/data portal of snow observations, measurements and instruments with links to existing real-time snow databases

A synthesis and strategic recommendations report.

A review and practical guide on snow measurements considering different user needs

A catalogue of snow measurement instrumentation and best practices

A review on snow data assimilation in European NWP and hydrological models

Multidisciplinary articles in scientific journals (including above review results)

The Action will be based on a number of on-going development projects carried out by the participants, and will act as a platform for national and EU research and/or infrastructure proposals. The Action will bring together diverse disciplines, applications and techniques to work together within our 3 focal activities by combining new techniques and applications in innovative ways, encouraging developments towards better inter-compatibility, effective use of upgraded measurements, and cross-community validations. Three WGs will be defined according to the 3 focuses in the scientific programme:

WG1: Physical characterization of snow properties >> Read more

WG2: Instrument and method evaluation >> Read more

WG3: Snow data assimilation and validation methods for NWP and hydrological models >> Read more
