Description
This study utilizes both an extensive set of observations and mesoscale model simulations to isolate and describe the important influences of complex terrain on Colorado Front Range winter storms, with an emphasis on snowfall distributions. Specifically, the interaction of various types of cold, low level air masses with topography and the larger-scale flow is described.

Description
Supercooled liquid water flux over the Tushar Mountains was estimated from three hour averages of the radiometer and rawinsonde observations. The amount of liquid water represented by this flux over the two-month project was 17,000 acre feet, or about 45 percent of the total annual runoff in the Beaver River watershed.

Description
This study investigates the performance of both the Nested Grid Model (NGM) and Colorado State University's Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) for the 29-30 March 1991 Front Range storm. Through this investigation, a better understanding of both models efficiency and limitations can be assessed as they simulate the multicomponent nature of winter storms in Colorado's mountainous terrain.

Description
This report constitutes the deliverables required under Exhibit 1, Water Year 2007 (WY07) of the Colorado River Basin cloud seeding agreements executed March 21, 2007. Exhibit 1 describes activities that were to be performed in WY07. The three Lower Basin States provided $57,000 of which $40,500 was spent. The contract calls for deliverables for each activity performed this year.
