estimating the distribution of snow melt equivalent at the peak of snow accumulation, through degree – day model
estimating snow melt water equivalent is one of the most important challenges in determining the hydrological regime in mountainous basins. there are some problematic obstacles in field observations, due to inaccessibility as well due to difficulties in snow sampling at snow covered peaks making researchers try to find indirect approaches. one of these methods in use is degree- day model that i...
متن کاملModelling Daily Runoff from Snow and Glacier Melt Using Remote Sensing Data
In this paper we present runoff simulations for snow and icemelt for the basins of Rhine-Felsberg, RhôneSion and Ticino-Bellinzona. We use high resolution multispectral remote sensing data to map snow and ice cover of selected years. Further, we use GIS based extrapolation techniques to evaluate cloud and forest covered areas with respect to snow cover. We use the deterministic hydrologic model...
متن کاملSnow and glacier melt in the Satluj River at Bhakra Dam in the western Himalayan region
Streamflow in the Himalayan rivers is generated from rainfall, snow and ice. The distribution of runoff produced from these sources is such that the streamflow may be observed in these rivers throughout the year, i.e. they are perennial in nature. Snow and glacier melt runoff contributes substantially to the annual flows of these rivers and its estimation is required for the planning, developme...
متن کاملMeasuring Snow and Glacier Ice Properties from Satellite
Satellite remote sensing is a convenient tool for studying snow and glacier ice, allowing us to conduct research over large and otherwise inaccessible areas. This paper reviews various methods for measuring snow and glacier ice properties with satellite remote sensing. These methods have been improving with the use of new satellite sensors, like the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) during the las...
متن کاملIce-core net snow accumulation and seasonal snow chemistry at a temperate-glacier site: Mount Waddington, southwest British Columbia, Canada
A 141m ice core was recovered from Combatant Col (51.3858N, 125.2588W; 3000ma.s.l.), Mount Waddington, Coast Mountains, British Columbia, Canada. Records of black carbon, dust, lead and water stable isotopes demonstrate that unambiguous seasonality is preserved throughout the core, despite summer surface snowmelt and temperate ice. High accumulation rates at the site (>4m ice eq. a) limit modif...
