Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Poster Description
Predicting metamorphism within seasonal snowpacks is a valuable tool for avalanche forecasters and water supply specialists. Snowpack temperature gradients play a key role in snow metamorphism. Measuring snow temperature gradients within the snowpack is currently a non-automated process that requires disturbance of the snow profile. This study presents one method that can be used to automate in situ snowpack temperature measurements without causing any disturbance. We installed a thermocouple array at the Banner Creek Summit SNOTEL site in Central Idaho. Our results demonstrate that it is possible to remotely measure snowpack temperature with a thermocouple array. We anticipate this dataset to inform snowpack energy balance models and aid in the prediction of avalanche danger.
