Rain or Snow: Hydrologic Processes, Observations, Prediction, and Research Needs
The phase of precipitation when it reaches the ground is a first-order driver of hydrologic processes in a watershed. The presence of snow, rain, or mixed-phase precipitation affects the initial and boundary conditions that drive hydrological models. Despite their foundational importance to terrestrial hydrology, typical phase partitioning methods (PPMs) specify the phase based on near-surface ...
متن کاملModelling Hydrologic Processes in the Mekong River Basin Using a Distributed Model Driven by Satellite Precipitation and Rain Gauge Observations
The Mekong River is the most important river in Southeast Asia. It has increasingly suffered from water-related problems due to economic development, population growth and climate change in the surrounding areas. In this study, we built a distributed Geomorphology-Based Hydrological Model (GBHM) of the Mekong River using remote sensing data and other publicly available data. Two numerical exper...
متن کاملSnow densification during rain
Observations and measurements indicate rain often has a major impact on snow slope stability. Measurements to investigate the effects of wetting of low density, alpine snow were made at Snoqualmie Pass, WA, USA. Results indicate that on first wetting, the densification rate can increase by three orders of magnitude. This initial burst of densification occurs independently of the gravitational l...
متن کاملIodine speciation in rain, snow and aerosols
Iodine oxides, such as iodate, should theoretically be the only stable sink species for iodine in the troposphere. However, field observations have increasingly found very little iodate and significant amounts of iodide and organically bound iodine in precipitation and aerosols. The aim of this study was to investigate iodine speciation, including 5 the organic fraction, in rain, snow, and aero...
متن کامل9 Hydrologic Processes
A catchment is a basic unit of landscape particularly for investigations of hydrologic processes. Typically, the topographic boundary of a catchment coincides with the hydrologic boundary causing any precipitation falling on to the catchment to be routed to a stream where it is transported out of the catchment. Fundamental components of the hydrologic cycle, such as precipitation, runoff and ev...
