Spatial And Interannual Variability Of Snow Interception In Coniferous Forest Canopies

Aug. 13, 2018

Raleigh , Mark S 1 1 National Center for Atmospheric Research Coniferous forest canopies play a significant role in seasonal snowpack development and land-atmosphere feedbacks. Depending on climate, storm dynamics, and forest characteristics, melt or sublimation of snow intercepted in the canopy may reduce snow water equivalence on the ground...
