Description:In the western United States, a temperature sensor change at the snow telemetry stations is responsible for erroneously greater temperature warming trends in high ‐elevation mountain areas than lower elevation locations. This study examined how the temperature sensor changes in fluenced these trends across Colorado and evaluated two homogenization methods that adjust these data biases. Perspectives differ on whether the presensor (before the changing of the temperature sensors) or post ‐sensor (after) change data are correct, so temperature records from both the pre ‐and post ‐sensor change period (~1990s to mid ‐2000s) were individually adjusted at 68 longer ‐term stations. Trends were analyzed with and
