This site is designed for people studying processes related to temperature in complex terrain. Extensive site-specific studies have been carried out across the globe. Here we strive to collect that information in one place and provide a set of tools that can easily be downloaded and used by anyone. |

Temperature-sensed snow coverTemperature sensors can be wrapped in plastic wrap and buried 3-5 cm below the soil surface to record diurnal fluctuations in soil temperature. When the temperature reads 0 deg C with no fluctuations, we know that the location is covered with snow. Reference:Lundquist, J. D. and F. Lott, 2008 Using inexpensive temperature sensors to monitor the duration and heterogeneity of snow-covered areas in complex terrain.
