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.
