Correlation and Prediction of Snow Water Equivalent from Snow Sensors
Since 1982, under an agreement between the California Department of Water Resources and the USDA Forest Service, snow sensors have been installed and operated in Forest Service-administered wilderness areas in the Sierra Nevada of California. The sensors are to be removed by 2005 because of the premise that sufficient data will have been collected to allow "correlation" and, by implication, pre...
متن کاملSnow water equivalent estimation using blackbox optimization
Accurate measurements of snow water equivalent (SWE) is an important factor in managing water resources for hydroelectric power generation. SWE over a catchment area may be estimated via kriging on measures obtained by snow monitoring devices positioned at strategic locations. The question studied in this paper is to find the device locations that minimize the kriging interpolation error of the...
متن کاملSpatial estimates of snow water equivalent from reconstruction
Operational ground-based measurements of snow water equivalent (SWE) do not adequately explain spatial variability in mountainous terrain. To address this problem, we combine satellite-based retrievals of fractional snow cover for the period 20 0 0 to 2011 with spatially distributed energy balance calculations to reconstruct SWE values throughout each melt season in the Sierra Nevada of Califor...
متن کاملFactors affecting remotely sensed snow water equivalent uncertainty
State-of-the-art passive microwave remote sensing-based snow water equivalent (SWE) algorithms correct for factors believed to most significantly affect retrieved SWE bias and uncertainty. For example, a recently developed semi-empirical SWE retrieval algorithm accounts for systematic and random error caused by forest cover and snow morphology (crystal size — a function of location and time of ...
متن کاملDistribution of Maximum Annual Water Equivalent of Snow
For later development of design snow loads, the water equivalent of snow on the ground appears to be the best The appropriate climatological series for this is the winter Among many distributions investigated, the lognormal Distributions fitted to 140 stations provided data In southern areas of the United States, where snow does This requires the A contour map is provided of the mixture paramet...
