Deuterium and snow hydrology
HDO samples from natural and laboratory snowpacks show that snowpack metamorphism can reduce the initial variability in the HDO content of snow. Field studies in Colorado indicated melt water percolation reduced the variability from a spread of -229%o to -106% relative to Standard Mean Ocean Water …

Snow Hydrology and Streamflow Response to Snowmelt: A Case Study on SWE Dataset Comparisons, Regional Water Balance, and Snowmelt-Induced Runoff within the Smith River Watershed, Montana
Seasonal snowpacks in snow-dominated watersheds across the western United States play a critical role in sustaining regional water resources by delaying runoff and regulating streamflow. This research examined snow hydrology in the Smith River Watershed, located in Montana, USA, over five water …

Simulating Areal Snowcover Depletion and Snowmelt Runoff in Alpine Terrain
… in the headwaters of the Rocky Mountains, where snowmelt represents the greatest single contribution. Increasing concerns over future regional water resource stresses require better understanding and prediction of some alpine snow hydrology components, which are currently limited due to the large …

Spatial accumulation patterns of snow water equivalent in the southern Rocky Mountains
… be taken within a given watershed to estimate snow water equivalent (SWE) due to cost limitations, which necessitates basin-scale estimation of SWE. Modeling often assumes consistency in the spatial distribution of SWE, which may not be correct. Identifying patterns and variability in the …

Analyzing variation in snow albedo across spatial scales of observation in the Alaskan boreal forest
Snow albedo plays a critical role in the Earth's energy balance due to its high reflectivity in the visible wavelengths. On average, more than 50% of the land area above 20° North latitude is snow covered by December. In a warming climate where temperatures are estimated to rise and less …

Snowmelt and rainfall runoff in burned and unburned catchments at the intermittent-persistent snow transition, Colorado Front Range
Winter snowmelt and summer monsoonal rains are the dominant sources for streamflow in the Colorado Front Range, and wildfire can greatly affect the hydrologic regime through which these inputs are delivered to the stream. However, the specific changes to the hydrologic processes that drive runoff …
