DECEMBER 2006 LISTON AND ELDER 1259 A Distributed Snow-Evolution Modeling System (SnowModel)
SnowModel is a spatially distributed snow-evolution modeling system designed for application in landscapes, climates, and conditions where snow occurs. It is an aggregation of four submodels: MicroMet defines meteorological forcing conditions, EnBal calculates surface energy exchanges, SnowPack simu...
