Snow 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 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...
متن کاملCorrelation 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 کاملPossibilistic uncertainty analysis of a conceptual model of snowmelt runoff
This study presents the analysis of predictive uncertainty of a conceptual type snowmelt runoff model. The method applied uses possibilistic rather than probabilistic calculus for the evaluation of predictive uncertainty. Possibility theory is an information theory meant to model uncertainties caused by imprecise or incomplete knowledge about a real system rather than by randomness. A snow domi...
متن کاملProcess-oriented Investigation of Snow Accumulation, Snowmelt and Runoff Generation in Forested Sites in Finland
This thesis summarises development and application of a hydrological model for simulating forest canopy processes, snow accumulation and melt, soil and ground water interactions, and streamflow routing. A motivation behind the model development is to outline a methodology for predicting the influence of land use changes on catchment hydrological processes. In addition, the development aims at p...
