As we look into snow drifts, we come to question what components,
specifically wind speeds, will be necessary to create snow compaction.
Using the globe and landcover snow measurements, the weather station,
sampling, and much more until the snow has dissipated, we will be able
to come up with a complete conclusion on what certain wind speeds are
required to create snow compaction in a windward snow drift. Making an
impact on agriculture and natural resources around the interior region
of Alaska.
