In alpine terrain, snow sublimation represents an important component of the winter moisture budget, representing a proportion of precipitation which does not contribute to melt. To quantify its amount we analyze the spatial pattern of snow sublimation at the ground, from a canopy and from turbulent suspension during wind-induced snow transport for a high alpine area in the Berchtesgaden Nation...

1. introduction glaciers and snow covers in the mountains play an important role in the water budget of many areas of the world (ramage and isacks, 2003). in high altitudes and mountainous regions, snowmelt is a great contributor to the yearly runoff. the snow melt supplies 1/6 of people's needed water but due to global warming these glaciers may be at risk (barnett, et al. 2005). for the regio...

abstract nowadays, measuring water quality is very important for comprehensive management of water resources. suspended sediment is one of the most important water quality factors which greatly affects environment health. however, its measurement needs too much time and money. it was therefore tried in the present study to assess the applicability of modelling relationship between suspended sed...

abstract the application of the crop growth models could facilitate irrigation water and fertilizer management due to reduce of field visits and direct measurements. these models are often so complex that it is difficult to understand them and some of those input data are not accessible. in this study, a simple model (vsm) was used to yield prediction of corn under different water and nitrogen ...
