SPLASH Field Study; Surface Meteorological Observations at Roaring Judy, Colorado, 2021-09-28 to 2023-09-05 (NCEI Accession 0287379)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 29, 2026 | Last Modified: 2024-01-31T00:00:00.000+00:00
From fall 2021 through summer 2023, NOAA and research partners conducted a field study (SPLASH - the Study of Precipitation, the Lower Atmosphere and Surface for Hydrometeorology). This field study established a state-of-the-art observing network in the East River watershed of the Colorado mountains with a goal of advancing weather and water prediction capabilities in areas with complex terrain. Objectives included research to apply SPLASH observations and the associated processes to evaluate and improve NOAA's latest suite of modeling tools, including the Unified Forecast System, Rapid Refresh Forecast System, and National Water Model. The ultimate goal of this project is improved prediction of weather and water in the Colorado mountains and beyond to inform societal preparedness and response. This archive consists of Surface Meteorological observations taken at the Roaring Judy, Colorado site.
