An automated weather station with a net radiometer measures air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, soil moisture, and solar and thermal energy in a Cameron Peak burn site. Colorado State University researchers studied the wildfire’s effects on snowpack across mountainous terrain and found that location is key to melt rate and timing.
