To help appreciate the current snow situation in Western Canada the Canadian Cryosphere Watch (ccin.ca/ccw/snow/current/swe) is a great data resource for the regional scale. It's pretty indicative of how little snow there is currently (left) vs normal (right) @polardata #WestCdnAg

Our paper on observing crop water use efficiency (WUE) on the Canadian Prairies is now out in @agformet! With eddy covariance we measured field scale WUE for various prairie dryland crop types over 17 site-years to learn more about WUE dynamics. #WestCdnAg #water 🧵1/11

With an early winter onset in parts of the prairies, and high probability of more snow, the snowpack will be important for ag this coming year. Snow data sources relevant to ag are limited so best approach is to go out and measure it yourself...🧵#KnowYourSnow #WestCdnAg 1/15

Happy #WorldSoilDay to those who recognize it!
In #WestCdnAg advances in soil management are a huge part of why crop production is ~3x more water efficient than 100 yrs ago! Weather/precipitation extremes continue to define short term variability so always more work to do!
