IFRACS_2014: Isotopic Fractionation in Snow

Summary

The Isotopic Fractionation in Snow experiment (IFRACS) is a meteorological research program conducted near Steamboat Springs, CO. This campaign was designed to investigate whether or not the degree of riming on the snow crystals could be determined by measuring the isotopic content of the snow. Riming is important because it greatly influences the amount of water content the snow crystals hold.
