Effects of High-Resolution Snow Cover Initialization on WRF High Resolution Model Runs

• Loop of 9-hr snow cover field
  
• Loop of 9-hr water-equivalent snow depth field
  NOTE: units are consistent with NOHRSC plots (see above)
• Loop of 9-hr surface temperature field
  Note the improved temperatures over the Cascades.
  Note also how cold the Intermountain West becomes when the Noah LSM is used.
