Modelling the spatial variability of snow water equivalent at the catchment scale

The spatial distribution of snow water equivalent (SWE) is modelled as a two parameter gamma distribution. The parameters of the distribution are dynamical in that they are functions of the number of accumulation and melting events and the temporal correlation of accumulation and melting events. The...
