Abstract

Snow is an important environmental variable in headwater systems that controls hydrological processes
such as streamflow, groundwater recharge, and evapotranspiration. These processes will be affected by both the
amount of snow available for melt and the rate at which it melts. In complex mountainous terrain, a number of
factors can affect snow water equivalent (SWE) and melt including slope, aspect, canopy type, and canopy density.
