This lecture introduces the principles of snow physics, hydrology, atmosphere interaction, and modeling. It covers snow properties, energy balance, SNOWPACK model, snow formation, mass balance, runoff processes, and climate impact. The course emphasizes self-learning techniques and practical understanding. Snow's role in climate feedback, water resources, and global energy budget is discussed.
