Effects of Averaging and Separating Soil Moisture and Temperature in the Presence of Snow Cover in a SVAT and Hydrological Model for a Southern Ontario, Canada, Watershed

Source: Journal of Hydrometeorology:;2006:;Volume( 007 ):;issue: 002:;page 298

Author(s): Fassnacht, S. R.; Yang, Z-L.; Snelgrove, K. R.; Soulis, E. D.; Kouwen, N.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: The energy and water balances at the earth's surface are dramatically influenced by the presence of snow cover. Therefore, soil temperature and moisture for snow-covered and snow-free areas can be very different. In computing ...

Comparative Analyses of Physically Based Snowmelt Models for Climate Simulations

Author(s): Jin, J.; Gao, X.; Yang, Z.-L.; Bales, R. C.; Sorooshian, S.; Dickinson, R. E.; Sun, S. F.; Wu, G. X.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: A comparative study of three snow models with different complexities was carried out to assess how a physically detailed snow model can improve snow modeling within general circulation models. The three models were (a) the ...
