Determining the Snow Coefficient in order to simulate the snow melting in the Shemshak Watershed Using the WetSpa Model

In mountainous regions, snow forms a part of the precipitation. Therefore, snow melting is an important process in hydrology and hydraulic in these areas that its role should be considered independently in runoff generation. The Shemshak watershed basin located in Tehran province was selected as the study area of this research to examine the efficiency of the WetSpa hydrologic model to simulate...

Downscaling Snow Cover Fraction Data in Mountainous Regions Based on Simulated Inhomogeneous Snow Ablation

High-resolution snow distributions are essential for studying cold regions. However, the temporal and spatial resolutions of current remote sensing snow maps remain limited. Remotely sensed snow cover fraction (SCF) data only provide quantitative descriptions of snow area proportions and do not provide information on subgrid-scale snow locations. We present a downscaling method based on simulat...

Modeling Runoff Genera on in a Small Snow-Dominated Mountainous Catchment

Snowmelt in mountainous areas is an important contributor to river water fl ows in the western United States. We developed a distributed model that calculates solar radia on, canopy energy balance, surface energy balance, snow pack dynamics, soil water fl ow, snow–soil–bedrock heat exchange, soil water freezing, and lateral surface and subsurface water fl ow. The model was applied to describe r...
