Abstract: An energy budget approach is used to study the melt of a prairie snowpack. Air temperature, humidity and wind speed are measured at seven levels in the first 2 m above the snow surface. Evaporation and melt are measured ...

Abstract: Surface energetics and snow ablation were examined during the 1999 snowmelt season in a mountain subarctic tundra valley in the Yukon Territory of Canada. Considerations of melt energetics at small scales were made with ...
