Abstract

The Navajo River, located in the southern San Juan Mountains, is a tributary of the San Juan Chama River. The Navajo River catchment is one of three catchments included in the San Juan Chama Project (SJCP, Bureau of Reclamation), which diverts a firm yield (annual allotment) of 96,200 acre-feet water users in New Mexico. To meet the snow monitoring and water supply forecast needs of the SJCP project, a snow survey research area has been established in the catchment. This research area currently includes four snow survey sites, which contain a total of two snow pits and five snow depth transects. Two survey sites include snowtography poles with game cameras monitoring snow depth and temperature buttons collecting snowpack temperature data. This site is also used to assess satellite snow measurements to improve snow water supply forecasting for the Snow Water Supply Forecasting Program (Bureau of Reclamation). Snow depth retrievals were processed using a retrieval algorithm that utilizes single-look complex (SLC) data from the Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite and saved in a NetCDF file.
