• Description:
  Remote sensing measurements collected during snowfall events observed in the East River Basin of the headwaters of the Gunnison River are used to investigate statistical interrelations among such parameters of the water cycle as the snowfall accumulation/intensity, vertically integrated amounts of supercooled cloud liquid and ice, expressed as liquid water path (LWP) and ice water path (IWP), correspondingly, and the columnar integrated water vapor (IWV).
