ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Researchers in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska are looking for backcountry enthusiasts who want to aid a science mission.
A program funded by NASA is recruiting citizen scientists to measure snow levels in mountain terrain. The goal is better estimates of the water contained by snow in a watershed.
An Oregon State University engineer says measurements taken by backcountry skiers, snowboarders and snowmobile riders have proven valuable in lowering the error rate of computer simulations of snow pack.
