Seasonal snowcover dynamics beneath boreal forest canopies

Creator:

Link, Timothy E.

Abstract:

The accurate simulation of snowpack deposition and ablation beneath forested areas is confounded by the fact that the vegetation canopy strongly affects the snow surface energy balance. The canopy alters the radiation balance of the snowcover, and reduces the wind speed at the snow surface. Data collected as part of...

Masters Thesis
The water and energy dynamics of an old-growth seasonal temperate rainforest

Creator:

Link, Timothy E.

Abstract:

In the Pacific Northwest (PNW), concern about the impacts of climate and land cover change on water resources, flood-generating processes, and ecosystem dynamics emphasize the need for a mechanistic understanding of the interactions between forest canopies and hydrological processes. A detailed measurement and modeling program during the 1999 and 2000...
