Development and Application of a MODIS Snowmelt Model for Northwestern Montana
… Development and Application of a MODIS Driven Snowmelt Model in Northwestern Montana Chairperson: Joel T. Harper In the mountain west the timing of the spring snowmelt pulse has considerable impact on water resources and ecological processes such as fire. A forward shift of this timing due to …

Using MODIS Satellite Images to Confirm Distributed Snowmelt Model Results in a Small Arctic Watershed
… measurements to evaluate the performance of models with increasingly small spatiotemporal resolution. While U.S. government agencies readily provide both measurement products and data tools for the study of global change occurring over entire seasons and across continental areas, analysts …

Impacts of Climate Change in Snowmelt-Dominated Alpine Catchments: Development and Assessment of Comparative Methods to Quantify the Role of Dynamic Storage and Subsurface Hydrologic Processes
Snowmelt-dominated systems are a significant source of water supply for the Western United States. Changes in timing and duration of snowmelt are predicted to continue under climate change; however, the impact this change will have on water resources is not well understood. The ability to compare …

Snow Accumulation and Melt Timing at High Elevations in Northwest Montana
The sensitivity of snowmelt driven water supply to climate variability and change is difficult to assess in the mountain west, where strong climatic gradients coupled with complex topography are sampled by sparse ground measurements. We developed a snowmelt model, which ingests daily satellite …

The Impact of Climate Change upon the Snowmelt Hydrology of an Upland UK Catchment
Snowmelt hydrology is important in the winter flow regime of upland catchments in the UK as it can attenuate the extremes of the river flow hydrograph. The sensitivity of snow accumulation and melt to changes in climate, in particular to increases in temperature, could impact upon the variability …

Modeling the potential impacts of climate change on streamflow variability in the North Fork of Elk Creek Experimental Watershed, West-Central, Montana
… Watershed. This is important to understand in snowmelt-dominated watersheds, as it is already well documented by current trends and future climate projections that the natural hydrologic regime is experiencing alterations. There have been shifts in the 20th century of the timing of snowmelt …

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 …
