  • Abstract
    We present our ongoing studies of winter precipitation using multi-angle snowflake camera (MASC), 2D-video disdrometer, computational electromagnetic scattering methods, and state-of-the-art polarimetric radars. The newly built and established MASCRAD (MASC + Radar) Snow Field Site is one of the currently best instrumented and most sophisticated field sites for winter precipitation measurements and analysis in the nation. We present and discuss MASCRAD measurements for the snow event on Nov 15, 2014 in La Salle, Colorado.
