Monitoring of Spring snow cover at Alert, Nunavut
Snow cover is visually estimated every two days from an elevated vantage point that allows estimation of cover over a variety of flat and sloped terrain. The monitoring starts on the date of our arrival at the study site until the end of snowmelt. Descriptive notes are kept on daily weather conditio...
