Question

5. If the SWE is 10:1 and we measure 48 inches of snow on the ground, how any inches of SWE are there? What is the density of the pack?

6. What is the probability of occurrence of a 25 year storm event this year?

7. What is the first day of the traditional hydrologic year?

8. What is sublimation?

9. Discuss/describe the concepts of field capacity, field saturation, and wilting point.

10. Discuss/illustrate diurnal temperature gradients and the resulting effects on the snowpack and snowmelt. Hint – A figure would help.

Explanation / Answer

6) the probability of a occurrence of 25 year storm event

= 1/ occurrence( years)

= 1/25

= 0.04

= 4%

Therefore 4% is the probability

8) Sublimation is the process of transition of a substance directly from the solid phase to the gas phase without going through the intermediate phase( liquid phase)
