Seasonal snow accumulation in the mid-latitude forested catchment

to related objects

Abstract: The study deals with the snow cover characteristics (snow depth — SD and snow water equivalent — SWE) concerning the mid-latitude forested catchment. Namely, the influence of the forest canopy (Picea abies (L.) Karst. and Fagus sylvatica L.) and altitude (ranging from 835 m a.s.l. to 1118 m a.s.l.) was investigated. Forest cover was proved to have a significant influence on the snow cover accumulation, reducing SWE by 50 % on average, compared to open sites. The elevation gradient concerning SWE ranged from 30 to 40 mm and from 5 to 20 mm per 100 m in open and forested sites, respectively. Its magnitude was found to be temporarily variable and positively related to the total seasonal snowfall amount. The SWE/SD variability among measurement sites (with different altitude) was higher in open sites compared to forested ones. The catchment SWE/SD variability increases significantly in the snowmelt period (March–April) both in open and forested locations. The differences among snow interception losses, concerning various elevations and the forest canopy, were not statistically significant.
