Snowpack Accumulation in Relation to Terrain and Meteorological Factors in Southwestern Montana.

The relationships between mountain snowpack accumulation and terrain and meteorological parameters were investigated in three separate mountain areas in southwestern Montana. The parameters used (elevation, aspect, slope, geographic location, and degree of potential windiness) were determined for ea...

Description
Summary:The relationships between mountain snowpack accumulation and terrain and meteorological parameters were investigated in three separate mountain areas in southwestern Montana. The parameters used (elevation, aspect, slope, geographic location, and degree of potential windiness) were determined for each sampling site in the three study areas. These were used as terrain/meteorological parameters in the data analysis. Snowpack variables measured were snow depth and water equivalent. (Author)
