Dr. Jeff Deems, Colorado
Airborne Snow Observatories (ASO), Inc, introduced himself and his presentation.
He told the committee about the current system for monitoring snowpack
and how it relies on consistency rather than adjusting for the changing
environment. He spoke about how ASO maps snowpack to predict runoff and
snowmelt and displayed examples of the types of data and maps that ASO
can provide. He discussed the benefits of gathering this data and how it
is currently being utilized in California, funding that has been provided
by Colorado to enable the program, and future opportunities.
