\n \n \n \n tableDigital\n \n \n \n \n From fall 2021 through summer 2023, NOAA and research partners conducted a field study (SPLASH - the Study of Precipitation, the Lower Atmosphere and Surface for Hydrometeorology). This field study established a state-of-the-art observing network in the East River watershed of the Colorado mountains with a goal of advancing weather and water prediction capabilities in areas with complex terrain. The ultimate goal of this project is improved prediction of weather and water in the Colorado mountains and beyond to inform societal preparedness and response. SPLASH was complemented by a concurrent Surface Atmosphere Integrated Field Laboratory (SAIL) field campaign led by the Department of Energy’s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility.\n\nThis dataset contains Surface Energy Balance data collected at the Kettle Ponds (CKP) and Brush Creek (CBC), Colorado sites from October 2021 through August 2023. The data are provided in daily files of one minute data in ASCII text format.\n \n \n From fall 2021 through summer 2023, NOAA and research partners participated in the Study of Precipitation, the Lower Atmosphere and Surface for Hydrometeorology (SPLASH). This field study installed a comprehensive, state-of-the-art observing network in the East River watershed of the Colorado mountains with a goal of advancing weather and water prediction capabilities in areas with complex terrain. \n\nBenefits: In combination with scientific analysis of the resulting datasets, research will apply SPLASH observations and the resulting enhanced process-understanding to evaluate and improve NOAA's latest suite of modeling tools, including the Unified Forecast System, Rapid Refresh Forecast System, and National Water Model. The ultimate goal of this project will be improved prediction of weather and water in the Colorado mountains and beyond to inform societal preparedness and response.\n \n \n Funding Agency: NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory (GML)\n \n \n Funding Agency: University of Colorado - Boulder; Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES)\n \n \n Funding Agency: Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory\n \n \n Funding Agency: US Department of Energy\n \n \n Funding Agency: Black Swift Technologies\n \n \n Funding Agency: Colorado State University\n \n \n Funding Agency: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory\n \n \n Funding Agency: National Center for Atmospheric Research\n \n \n Funding Agency: NOAA Physical Sciences Laboratory\n \n \n Funding Agency: US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\n \n \n completed\n \n \n historicalArchive\n \n \n \n \n NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information\n \n \n \n \n \n \n ncei.info@noaa.gov\n \n \n \n \n \n \n https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact\n \n \n HTTPS\n \n \n NCEI Contact Information\n \n \n Information for contacts at NCEI.\n \n \n information\n \n \n \n \n \n \n pointOfContact\n \n \n \n \n \n \n asNeeded\n \n \n \n \n \n \n https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0302673\n \n \n Preview graphic\n \n \n PNG\n \n \n \n \n \n \n 0302673\n \n \n \n \n NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER\n \n \n \n \n 2025-02-27\n \n \n publication\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n in situ\n \n \n theme\n \n \n \n \n NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory\n \n \n NOAA Physical Sciences Laboratory\n \n \n dataCentre\n \n \n \n \n NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n NOAA Physical Sciences Laboratory\n \n \n dataCentre\n \n \n \n \n NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n climatology\n \n \n theme\n \n \n \n \n WMO_CategoryCode\n \n \n \n \n 2012-09-15\n \n \n publication\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n DOC/NOAA/OAR/ESRL/GMD > Global Monitoring Division, Earth System Research Laboratory, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce\n \n \n DOC/NOAA/OAR/ESRL/PSL > Physical Sciences Laboratory, Earth System Research Laboratory, OAR, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce\n \n \n dataCentre\n \n \n \n \n Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords\n \n \n \n \n 2026\n \n \n revision\n \n \n \n \n 23\n \n \n \n \n Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Greenbelt\n \n \n MD\n \n \n \n \n \n \n https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords\n \n \n HTTPS\n \n \n GCMD Keyword Forum Page\n \n \n Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
