Main publication details
MARC recordPatterns of net radiation over urban snowpacks / F. Xu, J.M. Buttle.
| Title: | Patterns of net radiation over urban snowpacks / F. Xu, J.M. Buttle. |
| Author(s): | Xu, F. Buttle, J. M. |
| Date: | 1987. |
| In: | Eastern Snow Conference. Proceedings. (1987.), Vol. 43rd [1986] Annual Meeting (1987) |
| Abstract: | Attempts to forecast snowmelt runoff in urban areas should consider differences that may exist between net radiation fluxes in built-up areas and those recorded at open sites, as well as implications of these processes for snowmelt process. Suburban net radiation fluxes were found to decrease with distance from buildings, although this was complicated by shadow effect. Net radiation heat inputs to suburban snowpacks could exceed such inputs in open areas, depending on snowpack aspect and degree of cloud cover. Increased heat inputs appear to account for higher melt rates observed in suburban catchment relative to melt in rural setting. |
