Title The Influence of the Spatial Distribution of Snow on Basin-Averaged Snowmelt
Creator Luce, C. H. Tarboton, David G. Cooley, K. R.
Description Spatial variability in snow accumulation and melt owing to topographic effects on solar radiation, snow drifting, air temperature and precipitation is important in determining the timing of snowmelt releases. Precipitation and temperature effects related to topography affect snowpack variability at large scales and are generally included in models of hydrology in mountainous terrain. The effects of spatial variability in drifting and solar input are generally included only in distributed...
