Hydrometeorological effects of intercepted snow in an eastern Siberian taiga forest using a land‐surface model
Abstract This study investigates the hydrometeorological effects of intercepted snow in an intensely cold region. Observation of meteorological and hydrological elements in severely cold conditions, such as those in Siberia, is very difficult. One such typical element is that of snow interception. T...
