• Title: Demonstration of Improved Operational Water Resources Management Through Use of Better Snow Water Equivalent Information
• Date: 9/1/2002
• Weather Modification - Doc Type: Report

The enhanced PAA may be input to the National Weather Service's Snow Data Assimilation
System (SNODAS), a new and sophisticated snow energy and mass balance modeling system. It
is anticipated that the SNODAS will provide quantitative snowpack and snowmelt data to the
NWS's river models, thereby resulting in more accurate streamflow forecasts for the public and
water operations management.
