ABSTRACT:

This resource contains snow hydrology data collected at monitoring sites near the Tony Grove Ranger Station SNOTEL site in Northern Utah, USA. The data were collected as part of a research project titled: Advancing Snow Observation Systems to Improve Operational Streamflow Prediction Capabilities. The focus of this dataset is on low-cost snow stations installed within the Logan River Observatory. These stations were prototyped and deployed during the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 winters, collecting data for snow depth, shortwave and longwave radiation, air temperature, soil temperature, and soil volumetric water content. Included code in this resource is the source code used to generate the figures and analyses for two papers and a master's thesis based on the data collected. This research was supported by the Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology (CIROH) with joint funding under award NA22NWS4320003 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Cooperative Institute Program and the U.S. Geological Survey. The statements, findings, conclusions, and recommendations are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of NOAA.

ABSTRACT:

This resource includes a Jupyter Notebook script that runs through an analysis of the flow rate of Ashley Creek. The analysis compares 2021 USGS flow rates with the entire period of record for Ashley Creek. Statistical analysis includes visualizations of the annual means, maximums, minimums, percentiles, etc.
