Abstract: now plays a critical role in the water cycle of many mountain regions and heavily populated areas downstream. In this study, changes of snow water equivalent (SWE) time series from long-term stations in five Alpine countries ...

Abstract: inds, particularly high winds, strongly affect snowmelt and snow redistribution. High winds during rain-on-snow events can lead to catastrophic flooding while strong redistribution events in mountain environments can ...

Abstract: round-based, subcanopy measurements of incoming shortwave and longwave radiation are frequently used to drive and validate energy balance and snowmelt models. These subcanopy measurements are frequently obtained using ...

Abstract: ain-on-snow (ROS) events have caused severe floods in mountainous areas in the recent past. Because of the complex interactions of physical processes, it is still difficult to accurately predict the effect of snow cover ...

Abstract: AbstractSmall-scale variations in radiative transfer through forest canopies are strongly linked to canopy structural heterogeneity. To date, upscaling of radiative transfer parameterizations developed at the point scale ...

Abstract: In many practical applications snow depth is known, but snow water equivalent (SWE) is needed as well. Measuring SWE takes ?20 times as long as measuring depth, which in part is why depth measurements outnumber SWE ...
