The phrase "a snowmelt" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to refer to the water that results from melting snow, often in the context of discussing seasonal changes or water supply.
Example: "The river's flow increased significantly due to a snowmelt in the mountains."
Alternatives: "snow runoff" or "melted snow".
This can have important ramifications in addressing subsurface flow and losses when applying a snowmelt runoff model to simulate runoff and hydrologic processes in the watershed.
Probability distributions for annual maximum ground snow loads are studied in detail in this paper based on the samples of snow loads on the ground, which are simulated by a snowmelt model.
To fill the gap, in this study the Mass Curve Technique (MCT) was improved by incorporating a snowmelt module for the estimation of Sr at the catchment scale in different climatic regions.
A Snowmelt Runoff Model (SRM) is used to simulate streamflow from snowmelt in the Buha watershed within the Qinghai Lake basin for the hydrologic years 2003 2009 (from September to August).
Therefore, we established a snowmelt model calibration dataset that is both temporally dense and represents the integrated snowmelt infiltration signal for the Vers Chez le Brandt research catchment, which functions as a rather unique natural lysimeter.
A clear control of temperature and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) on the timing of flowering was found by Høye et al. who investigated the phenology and flowering of Dryas spp. hybrids along a snowmelt gradient in Northeast Greenland [ 16].
A snowmelt-precipitation-driven watershed (Kaidu watershed) in northwest China is selected as the study case for demonstrating the applicability of the proposed method.
This study tests this assumption using a coupled surface water groundwater model to explore the potential contribution of deep groundwater recharge to the bedrock in a snowmelt-dominated headwater catchment (Upper Penticton Creek 241) in the Okanagan Basin, British Columbia.
The study is based on a complex and unique data set of water stable isotopes (i.e., δ18O and δ2H), radon-222 activities (i.e., 222Rn) and groundwater levels to better understand the interaction of fresh groundwater and recirculated seawater in a snowmelt-affected subterranean estuary (STE) in a boreal region (Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Qc, Canada).
If the right circumstances are all put together (huge rainfall, a large snowmelt), there's a very definite possibility that the river would divert — go down through the Atchafalaya Basin.
The model couples a point snowmelt model with a current precipitation index (CPI) formulation to simulate continuous daily runoff from catchments with seasonal snow cover.
