An analytical approach for determining snowmelt induced runoff
(1984) The fifth Northern Research Basins Symposium p.5-58- Abstract
Different approaches are made to simulate snowmelt induced runoff using physically based equations. It is shown that overland flow as well as subsurface flow to rivulets or gullies may produce large runoff fluctuations when the rain or melt flux to the snowcovered ground is intermittent or periodic. A literature review and theoretical considera- tions show that groundwater often makes the largest con- tribution to stream flow even during snowmelt, but that the groundwater flow determines the minimum flows and the re- cession after all snow has disappeared and not so much the amplitude of the diurnal fluctuations.
