The SAIL and SPLASH Campaigns have a regular, bi-weekly science team meeting where to provide regular Campaign updates, field questions, and, most importantly, learn about scientific interests, opportunities, findings, and capabilities that advance mountainous hydrology. Through regular presentations by interested scientists, this regular meeting seeks to fost important synergistic science activities, especially with the large number of atmospheric, surface and sub-surface researchers across DOE, NOAA, and other federal, state and local partners interested in these Campaigns.
