IMPACTS WILL DETERMINE HOW MULTI-SCALE DYNAMICAL AND MICROPHYSICAL PROCESSES IN WINTER STORMS INTERACT TO PRODUCE BANDED REGIONS OF SNOWFALL AND WILL PROVIDE KNOWLEDGE THAT INFORMS REMOTE SENSING OF SNOW FROM SPACE AND IMPROVES US STORM PREDICTION CAPABILITIES. IMPACTS DIRECTLY SUPPORTS NASA S EARTH SCIENCE GOALS: (1) THROUGH IMPROVEMENT OF THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE FORMATION EVOLUTION AIR MOTIONS AND SNOW-PARTICLE GROWTH MECHANISMS IN HIGH-IMPACT SNOWBANDS IN WINTER STORMS AND (2) BY ENABLING IMPROVED SPACE-BASED MEASUREMENT AND NUMERICAL MODEL PREDICTION OF SNOW WITHIN WINTER STORMS.
