Snow Hydrology of the Waimakariri Catchment, South Island, New Zealand
註釋The Waimakariri River drains eastward from the main divide of New Zealand's South Island. Most of the steamflow in the South Island derives from the mountains, where varying portions of precipitation fall as snow. This paper summarizes what is known about the snow hydrology of the Waimakariri catchment. The paper outlines the geographical setting, the streamflow regime and the available sources of data; reviews the published and unpublished work on processes governing snow accumulation, melt and runoff, as well as the monitoring and modelling of snow storage and snow melt; and quantifies the hydrological significance of snow in the Waimakariri catchment.
