Automated weather station network

水资源的许多方面都受到天气条件及其对热交换的影响，包括雪融化，冰川融化和退缩以及河流温度。特别是在山区，人们越来越关注未来气候的多变性和变化及其对水资源的影响。为了了解未来气候变异和变化的影响，需要可用于预测热交换的天气数据。然而，特别是在山区，能够提供所需数据的气象站很少。 该提案要求提供资金，以支持在南部海岸山脉安装自动气象站网络。这些数据将用于协助制定预测天气条件空间变异性的方法，特别是在积雪和冰川表面，以及如何从现有的气象站网络中估计这些变异性。

Many aspects of water resources are influenced by weather conditions and their influences on heat exchange, including snow melt, glacier melt and retreat, and river temperature. Particularly in mountainous regions, there is growing concern about future climatic variability and change and its influences on water resources. To understand the effects of future climatic variability and change, there is a need for weather data that can be used to predict heat exchanges. However, especially in mountainous regions, there are few weather stations that can provide the required data.  This proposal requests funds to support the installation of an automated weather station network in the southern Coast Mountains. The data will be used to assist in developing approaches for predicting the spatial variability of weather conditions, particularly over snow and glacier surfaces, and how they can be estimated from the existing network of weather stations.
