The X-Snow project is an initiative that aims to extend the number of available snow measurements in the Catskill and Adirondacks regions by engaging members of the local community in a crowd-sourced snow measurement effort. The primary objective of the project is to support improvements of NASA products and better understand the spatiotemporal evolution of snow properties. Citizens will be trained to carry out snow data collection and will be equipped with specific tools and apps that will allow them to carry out such measurements aiming at the
standards of those datasets used for remote sensing assessments. Building on the power of citizen science, the project aims to collect many simple measurements spread over a wide area. This will be more valuable than a smaller set of measurements taken over a small area with sophisticated equipment because these measurements will allow for the evaluation of satellite measurements and model results across a wide area and under various conditions.
