Description: This dataset contains the snow survey information needed for the River Flow Advisory Council Snow Survey dynamic web page. The spatial location has no meaning.
Description: This dataset holds the files generated by the Maine Geological Survey Snow Survey program. There are map output JPEGs for snowpack depth, snowpack density, snowpack water content, snowpack water content change, historical snowpack water content, mean hydrologic basin water content and an ASCII text file with the measurements for each site across the state. Snow depth, density and water content measurements are collected around the state at scheduled times each winter. MGS compiles the data and produces statewide maps for the Maine River Flow Advisory Committee. The maps assist with spring flood risk assessment and monitoring.

Description: The Maine Geological Survey and the USGS coordinate the colletction of snow measurements each winter for the Maine River Flow Advisory Commission's flood prediction report. These measurements are sent to MGS monthly in January and February and weekly in March, April and May as long as there is snow on the ground. The dataset contains all the raw snow survey measurements (depth, water content, density), their locations, data quality and other qualitative comments or observations. These measurements are used to create the snow survey statewide maps.

These measurements are used to create the snow survey site summary graphs. These graphs show the water content measurements by defined date range for the current year and the complete historical mean, minimum, maximum, and percentiles
