A continuum model for meltwater flow through compacting snow
Meltwater is produced on the surface of glaciers and ice sheets when the seasonal surface energy forcing warms the snow to its melting temperature. This meltwater can run off the surface in streams or percolate through the porous snow and refreeze, which warms the subsurface through the release of latent heat. We model the percolation process from first principles using a continuum model that i...
متن کاملA Distributed Snow-Evolution Modeling System (SnowModel)
SnowModel is a spatially distributed snow-evolution modeling system designed for application in landscapes, climates, and conditions where snow occurs. It is an aggregation of four submodels: MicroMet defines meteorological forcing conditions, EnBal calculates surface energy exchanges, SnowPack simulates snow depth and water-equivalent evolution, and SnowTran-3D accounts for snow redistribution...
متن کاملMoisture in the topsoil
The boundary that separates the earth from the atmosphere is a crucial zone of study for meteorology and hydrology. Here, solar energy is partitioned into sensible heat which drives atmospheric circulation, latent heat needed for evaporation from the soil and transpiration of vegetation, and soil heat which warms the subsurface. Precipitation is partitioned into interception that evaporates dir...
متن کاملModelling snow accumulation with a geographic information system
Snow courses that measure snow water equivalent (SWE) are clustered and limited in areal coverage in Idaho. This study used a cell-based geographic information system and multiple regression models to construct SWE surfaces from the snow course data by month (January to May) and by watershed. SWE was the dependent variable and location and topographic variables derived from a digital elevation ...
