The thermocouple package is pictured on the right under an artificial snowpack. Snow temperatures for a 1 m-deep snowpack are measured every 4 cm and collected by a logger on the tower in the foreground. Left of center is a shielded snow gauge and on the upper left is a meteorological station tower which measures air temperature, relative humidity, available photosynthetic radiation and wind speed.

The fence keeps bears and deer away from the instruments.
