Snow redistribution in an intermediate-complexity snow hydrology modelling framework [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2023
Snow hydrological regimes in mountainous catchments are strongly influenced by snowpack heterogeneity resulting from wind- and gravity-induced redistribution processes, requiring them to be modelled at hectometre and finer resolutions.

Snow hydrology in the Moroccan Atlas Mountains

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2022
Study region: Atlas Mountains located in Morocco. Study focus: Mountainous regions constitute an area of water production, while water is used in downstream plains. In Central Morocco, the Atlas Mountains represent the most important water supply in the country. The solid part of precipitation forms seasonal snowpack.

Snow hydrology in Mediterranean mountain regions: A review

Journal of Hydrology, 2017
Abstract Water resources in Mediterranean regions are under increasing pressure due to climate change, economic development, and population growth. Many Mediterranean rivers have their headwaters in mountainous regions where hydrological processes are driven by snowpack dynamics and the specific variability of the Mediterranean climate.

Arctic Snow Isotope Hydrology: A Comparative Snow-Water Vapor Study

Atmosphere, 2021
The Arctic’s winter water cycle is rapidly changing, with implications for snow moisture sources and transport processes. Stable isotope values (δ18O, δ2H, d-excess) of the Arctic snowpack have potential to provide proxy records of these processes, yet ...

Scaling issues in snow hydrology [PDF]

Hydrological Processes, 1999
The concept of scale can be used to quantify characteristic lengths of (a) a natural process (such as the correlation length of the spatial snow water equivalent (SWE) variability); (b) a measurement (such as the size of a snow density sample or the footprint of a satellite sensor), and (c) a model (such as the grid size of a distributed snow model ...

Warming Alters Hydrologic Heterogeneity: Simulated Climate Sensitivity of Hydrology‐Based Microrefugia in the Snow‐to‐Rain Transition Zone

Water Resources Research, 2019
In complex terrain, drifting snow contributes to ecohydrologic landscape heterogeneity and ecological refugia. In this study, we assessed the climate sensitivity of hydrological dynamics in a semiarid mountainous catchment in the snow‐to‐rain transition ...

A Snow Water Equivalent Retrieval Framework Coupling 1D Hydrology and Passive Microwave Radiative Transfer Models

Remote Sensing
The retrieval of continuous snow water equivalent (SWE) directly from passive microwave observations is hampered by ambiguity, which can potentially be mitigated by incorporating knowledge on snow hydrological processes.

Could Climate Change Decrease Landslide Hazard in Snow‐Dominated Mountainous Regions? Insights From a Distributed Hydrology‐Shallow Landslide Model of the North Cascades, USA

Water Resources Research
In snow‐dominated mountain belts, understanding how runoff hydrology and landslide hazard will respond to climate change requires the integration of climate science, hydrology, and geomorphology.

Remote sensing for snow hydrology in China: challenges and perspectives

Journal of Applied Remote Sensing, 2014
Snow is one of the most important components of the cryosphere. Remote sensing of snow focuses on the retrieval of snow parameters and monitoring of variations in snow using satellite data. These parameters are key inputs for hydrological and atmospheric

Combined Use of Multiple Cloud‐Free Snow Cover Products in China and Its High‐Mountain Region: Implications From Snow Cover Identification to Snow Phenology Detection

Water Resources Research
Accurate snow phenology detection, including snow cover days (SCD), snow start date (SSD), and snow end date (SED), is increasingly important for understanding mountain hydrology such as snow heterogeneity and snowmelt seasonality.
