Generating Observation-Based Snow Depletion Curves for Use in Snow Cover Data Assimilation

Generating Observation-Based Snow Depletion Curves for Use in Snow Cover Data Assimilation

Snow depletion curves (SDC) are functions that are used to show the relationship between snow covered area and snow depth or water equivalent. Previous snow cover data assimilation (DA) studies have used theoretical SDC models as observation operators to map snow depth to snow cover fraction (SCF)....
