Application of a snowmelt- runoff model using Landsat data.

Abstract

The snowmelt-runoff model developed by Martinec (1975) has been used to simulate daily streamflow on the 228 km2 Dinwoody Creek basin in Wyoming, U.S.A. using snowcover extent from Landsat and conventionally measured temperature and precipitation. For the six-month snowmelt seasons of 1976 and 1974 the simulated seasonal runoff volumes were within 5 and 1%, respectively, of the measured runoff.-from Authors
