Record #86560:

A method for indexing the variability of alpine seasonal snow over large areas / B.B. Fitzharris.

Title: A method for indexing the variability of alpine seasonal snow over large areas / B.B. Fitzharris.
Author(s): Fitzharris, B. B.
Date: 1987.
Publisher: Wallingford, Oxfordshire: International Association of Hydrological Sciences
In: Large scale effects of seasonal snow cover. Proceedings of an International Symposium held during the XIXth General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics at Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 9-22 August 1987. (1987.),
Abstract: Describes technique for estimating relative size of seasonal snow cover using data from lowland stations. Snow storage index is derived using weekly departures from average of precipitation and temperature recorded at 21 climate stations adjacent to mountain area of South Island, New Zealand. Data for each station is weighted according to how well it represents economically important river basins. Examples given of behaviour of index over eight winters.
