Hydrologic flow path development varies by aspect during spring snowmelt in complex subalpine terrain [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2018
In many mountainous regions around the world, snow and soil moisture are key components of the hydrologic cycle. Preferential flow paths of snowmelt water through snow have been known to occur for years with few studies observing the effect on soil ...

Enabling Advanced Snow Physics Within Land Surface Models Through an Interoperable Model‐Physics Coupling Framework

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
Accurate estimation of snow accumulation and melt is a critical part of decision‐making in snow‐dominated watersheds. In this study, we demonstrate a flexible methodology to couple a detailed snow model, Crocus, separately to two different land surface ...

Topographic distribution of snow water equivalent in the Sierra Nevada [PDF]

, 2011
Water supply forecasts in the Sierra Nevada using ground-based measurements of snow water equivalent (SWE) are uncertain because neither point measurements nor transects adequately explain spatial or temporal variability in mountainous terrain.

Spatial Variability of Shortwave Irradiance for Snowmelt in Forests [PDF]

, 2008
The spatial variation of melt energy can influence snow cover depletion rates and in turn be influenced by the spatial variability of shortwave irradiance to snow.

Water equivalent of snow retrieved from data of passive microwave scanning with the use of artificial neural networks over the Russian Federation territory

Лëд и снег, 2016
Using of the Chang model for calculation of the snow water equivalent on the basis of measurements of the Earth thermo-microwave radiation by means of scanning polarimeters (SMMR, SSM/I, AMSR-E) from board of orbital satellites does not allow obtaining ...

Mortality rates of the Alpine Chamois : the influence of snow-meteorological factors

, 2008
Especially for animals inhabiting alpine areas, winter environmental conditions can be limiting. Cold temperatures, hampered food availability and natural perils are just three of many potential threats that mountain ungulates face in winter ...

A Model Setup for Mapping Snow Conditions in High-Mountain Himalaya

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019
Seasonal snow cover is an important source of melt water for irrigation and hydropower production in many regions of the world, but can also be a cause of disasters, such as avalanches and floods.

Attention-Based Models for Snow-Water Equivalent Prediction

Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence
Snow Water-Equivalent (SWE)—the amount of water available if snowpack is melted—is a key decision variable used by water management agencies to make irrigation, flood control, power generation, and drought management decisions. SWE values vary spatiotemporally—affected by weather, topography, and other environmental factors.
