Sec. 612.3  Data collected and forecasts.

    (a) Basic data are currently collected at numerous sites in the 
western states area. Data sites generally include a snow course where 
both snow depth and water equivalent of snow are measured. However, 
special sites may measure only snow depth or water equivalent. Many of 
these sites also provide related drometeorological data, such as 
precipitation, temperature, humidity, solar tradiation, and wind.
    (b) Water supply forecasts in the western states area are generally 
made monthly from January through June. Forecasts may be made more 
frequently for an established need when data are available to NRCS.
