Hydrometeorology and Snow Accumulation and Melt Process (SnowAMP) Fieldwork in Langtang Valley, Nepal

Activities:

• Visit 10 meteorological stations and two hydrological stations for maintenance and data collection.
• Measure river discharge at two gauging sites using salt tracer methods with partners from DHM and NVE.
• Maintain five time-lapse cameras in Langtang Valley, recording detailed snow cover extent on a sub-daily basis.
• Select ground control points and survey these with a dGPS system to spatially distribute snow cover information from time-lapse cameras.
• Conduct unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flights above Lirung and Langtang glaciers to determine bi-annual surface lowering and debris-surface temperatures.
