Bulk meltwater flow and liquid water content of snowpacks mapped using the electrical self-potential (SP) method

Our ability to measure, quantify and assimilate hydrological properties and processes of snow in operational models is disproportionally poor compared to the significance of seasonal snowmelt as a global water resource and major risk factor in flood and avalanche forecasting. We show here that stron...
