Description
50 year ground snow load estimates at 415 measurement locations in
locations in and around the state of Utah. Used as part of the
2018 Utah snow load study.
Usage
1
Format
A data frame with 415 rows and 10 variables:
- STATION
The National Weather Service COOP, or Natural Resource
conservation service SNOTEL station identifier.
- STATION_NAME
The character name of the station.
- STATE
Two character state abbreviation of the
measurement location.
- LONGITUDE
Longitude coordinate position.
- LATITUDE
Latitude coordinate position.
- ELEVATION
Elevation of the measurement location (meters).
- YRS
The number of years of recorded load maximums. This is
effectively the sample size of the 50 year estimate.
- maxobs
The maximum snow load observation from the
period of record (kpa).
- yr50
The estimated design (i.e. 50 year) ground snow load (kpa).
- HUC
The United States Geological Survey 8 digit
hydrologic unit code.
Details
This dataset contains 279 (192 COOP, 87 SNOTEL) Utah stations
with an additional 136 stations (103 COOP, 33 SNOTEL), all located within
100 km of the Utah border. 50 year estimates were obtained by fitting
a log-normal distribution to the annual maximum snow loads (by water
year, not calendar year) via maximum likelihood estimation and
extracting the 98th percentile.
