Lecture

Snow Water Transport

Description

This lecture covers the modeling of snow deposition, including input, calculation modules, and output. It discusses the new paradigm of snow accumulation, calculated topographical flow features, and simulation and measurements at specific locations. The lecture also explores sublimation models, the effect of sublimation, and the comparison to surface sublimation. It delves into the snow water equivalent curve, intermittent snow cover, and modeling melt using degree day models. Additionally, it examines snowmelt phases, snowpack storage, liquid water regimes, dominant forces in snow, and the bucket scheme model. The lecture concludes with discussions on Darcy's equation, liquid water movement in snow, and the complexities of meltwater flow in snow.
