Hydrologic Journal - Snowmelt Calibration
It is a physical characteristic of the watershed that is not calibrated. The effects of aging on snowpack characteristics are diverse and are of some importance. The albedo of the snow surface is calculated in HFAM, but HFAM does not provide a calibration parameter to alter the snow surface albedo. Field data for calibration ...
