NCAR|UCAR Meet the Experts: Measuring Snowfall
Channel: NSF NCAR & UCAR Science Education
Date: 12/01/2021

What is it like to work at NCAR|UCAR?! Join us as we talk with experts to learn about what they do in their work, the highlights and challenges, and how it impacts us and our world. Then ask them anything you want to know about what it's like to do their jobs!

If you live in a place with snowy winters (or even just visit!), you have heard meteorologists predicting how much snow we might get, or discussing how much snow fell in a certain storm. We need to know whether it's an inch or a foot! NCAR scientist Roy Rasmussen will tell us about different methods that are used for measuring snowfall, and why it's important to know.
