Abstract
This paper describes a deterministic, distributed snow-melt model which has been developed for the Systeme Hydrologique Européen (SHE), The model is based on partial differential equations describing the flow of mass and energy through the snow. These equations are solved by an implicit, iterative finite-difference method. The behaviour of the model is investigated using data from a sub-Arctic site in Scotland.Keywords
