C41B:
Modeling of the Cryosphere: Seasonal Snow I
Submit an Abstract to this Session
Session ID#: 60483
Session Description:
The seasonal snow cover has manifold impacts and feedbacks affecting water availability, vegetation patterns, ecosystems, and weather. Accurately modeling current and future snow covers is challenged by the need for modeling techniques that represent the complex and interacting controlling processes at appropriate 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, topography, vegetation, and soil, operational snow models, data assimilation, subgrid schemes in coarse scale applications, modular model experiments, model evaluation and validation, and sensitivities to model parameters and forcing data.
