RAL's winter weather group is involved with a variety of projects, including the Colorado Headwaters project focused on the impact of climate change on snowpack in the West, developing systems to improve the nowcast and short term forecast of winter storms for aircraft ground deicing purposes, evaluating snowgauges and other winter instrumentation systems at the Marshall field site, evaluating winter orographic cloud seeding potential for the state of Wyoming and basic studies of winter precipitation. This web site provides links to these various projects as available, and also access to real-time data collected as part of these various projects.
