| Title: | Distribution of snow cover as influenced by landscape units in southwestern Ontario / H.O. Schroeter, H.R. Whiteley. |

| Abstract: | Snow-depth distribution patterns in upper Grand River watershed for winter 1985-86 are given for different land-cover types, as well as for edges (e.g. fence lines). Representative snow densities are presented for each cover type and edge effect. Temporal changes in distribution pattern show that, at maximum accumulation, open fields contain less snow than average, and edges and ditches more than average. After sustained ablation, almost all snow is in edges and ditches. From comparison of estimates of snow water equivalents, it was shown that estimates of mean basin water equivalent need to account for not only different land-cover types, but also for edge effects. |
