Projects at Rural GIS Sites
The Comparison of High-Resolution Elevation Data and the Effects on Blowing Snow Model Output
RGIS Regional Office: Great Plains, University of North Dakota
Project Dates: 2006/2007
Synopsis:
This objective will create two new DEM’s for comparison within the blowing snow model. A medium resolution DEM will be created within the field research site area from existing DEM data currently available from the USGS. A second dataset will be created within the study area using a survey grade GPS system. The two elevation data sets will be introduced into the blowing snow model to assess how the input elevation data affects the blowing snow model output.
