Snow ablation processes and associated atmospheric conditions in a high-elevation semi-arid basin of Western Canada

Snow surface energy balance was studied along an elevational gradient and under varying forest cover types during the ablation season of 2007 in the Coldstream Basin, Okanagan, British Columbia, Canada. During the snowmelt period, 1-4% of the peak annual snow-water equivalent (SWE) was lost to subli...
