Estimated Snowpack Depth & Snowline Altitude is based on DSW AWS data. Regional variation, topography & solar aspect will affect localised accuracy accordingly.
These tables use data from our AWS in Dunedin & DSW modelling to estimate meteorological & snow conditions. Modelling is based on observation and scientific case studies of the Otago/Southland climate where available.
Due to the complexity of mountain weather, regional variation & topography these models are based on generalised averages, localised accuracy will vary accoringly.
These tables are only intended as a broad GUIDE ONLY as to potential conditions that could be encountered in southern mountain area's, they should not be relied on in any way.
