Description:

This study attempts to correlate isentropic mixing ratios and the amount of snowfall produced by different snow events. During the course of the study, a forecast technique was developed that utilized real-time quantitative moisture values (mixing ratios) to predict maximum snowfall during the ensuing 12-hour period.
