A Process-Based Energy Balance Snowmelt Model I: Principle

Article Preview

Abstract:

Snow melting is an important process of snow hydrology. A process-based energy balance snowmelt model: Snow Column Model is developed to reveal the processes of energy conservation, phase change, mass transfer, compaction and growth of grain size. It could provide the information of snow density, temperature and liquid water held in snow packs varied with snowmelt processes. The observations during April and June, 1996 of snowpit in Niwot Ridge, Colorado, Front Range of Rocky Mountains are used to calculate and compare. The calculated ones are consistent with the observed. The model not only demonstrates the processes happened inside snow pack, but also will offer a better understanding of the response of snow pack to climate change in further studies.
