Snow Microwave Emission Modeling of Ice Lenses within the Snowpack Using the Microwave Emission Model for Layered Snowpacks (MEMLS)
Ice lens formation, which follows rain on snow events or melt-refreeze cycles in winter and spring, is likely to become more frequent as a result of increasing mean winter temperatures at high latitudes. These ice lenses significantly affect the microwave scattering and emission properties and, hence, snow brightness temperatures that are widely used to monitor snow cover properties from space....
متن کاملInterannual, seasonal, and spatial patterns of meltwater and solute fluxes in a seasonal snowpack
Meltwater discharge and electrical conductivity were measured in eight 1 3 1 m lysimeters, and snow accumulation and electrical conductivity of melted samples were measured in snow pits during four snowmelt seasons at Mammoth Mountain, California. The peak snow-water equivalent ranged from 0.57 to 2.92 m over the four melt seasons. Lysimeter discharges ranged from 20% to 205% of the mean flow; ...
متن کاملUsing a multiobjective approach to retrieve information on surface properties used in a SVAT model
The reliability of model predictions used in meteorology, agronomy or hydrology is partly linked to an adequate representation of the water and energy balances which are described in so-called SVAT (Soil Vegetation Atmosphere Transfer) models. These models require the specification of many surface properties which can generally be obtained from laboratory or field experiments, using time consum...
متن کاملData assimilation of multilayer snowpack on Argentière glacier, using X-band SAR data, DMRT and a detailed snowpack model
This study discuss the potential of using remote sensing data from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), couple with Dense Media Radiative Transfer (DMRT) model, to constrain the snowpack's optical grain size and density calculated by the detailed snowpack model Crocus. A snowpack Electromagnetic Backscattering Model (EBM) based on DMRT compatible with X-band and Ku-band frequencies is developed from...
متن کاملSublimation from a seasonal snowpack at a continental, mid-latitude alpine site
Sublimation from the seasonal snowpack was calculated using the aerodynamic pro®le method at Niwot Ridge in the Colorado Front Range. Past studies of sublimation from snow have been inconclusive in determining both the rate and timing of the transfer of water between the snowpack and the atmosphere, primarily because they relied on one-dimensional measurements of turbulent ̄uxes or short term d...
