Submit an Abstract to this Session Please know the abstract submission deadline has passed. There are no exceptions to this deadline and no new abstracts can be submitted.
You can still search the program to see your colleague�s abstract submissions as well as the sessions submitted for the 2016 Fall Meeting. The final program will be released in early October.


Session ID#: 13236

Session Description:
The seasonal snow cover has manifold impacts and feedbacks affecting water availability, vegetation patterns, ecosystems, and weather. As environmental changes advance, seasonal snow regimes are undergoing rapid and abrupt changes. Accurately modeling current and future snow covers is challenged by the need for modeling techniques that represent the involved complex and interacting processes at small spatial scales. This session will bring together researchers working on developing and applying snow models that collectively advance our understanding of system functionality. We solicit contributions related to modelling seasonal snow in general, and particularly welcome abstracts on snow cover interaction with the atmosphere, vegetation, and soil, operational snow models, data assimilation, subgrid schemes for coarser-scale applications, and sensitivities to model parameters and forcing data.
