Precipitation-snowmelt timing and snowmelt augmentation of large peak flow events, western Cascades, Oregon

Creator:

Jennings, Keith S.

Abstract:

Despite advances in the understanding of rain-on-snow storms and their resulting peak flows, little is understood about the response of snowmelt to precipitation and the relative timing of the two at multiple temporal scales within such events. To address this issue, climate, snowmelt, and streamflow data were analyzed for 26...

Measurement and modeling the physical controls of snowmelt in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:

Mazurkiewicz, Adam B.

Abstract:

The physical controls of snowmelt in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are poorly understood. While there have been numerous field and modeling investigations at the plot and watershed scale, few studies have identified how the snow energy balance (EB) components vary in importance both spatially and temporally. The identification of how...
