<font face="New Century Schoolbook, Times New Roman, serif">This tool uses upper level temperatures,
|
|
vertical motion, and relative humidity to calculate a snowratio. The tool algorithm uses a blend of
|
|
approaches based on the findings Dube`(2003), and also in part Waldstreicher(2001), and the top-down
|
|
microphysical diagnostics of Baumgardt(2001). The derived snowratio is then multiplied by the QPF
|
|
field to yield a snow amount. The tool is capable of producing snowratios from 0 to 25:1.
|
|
Highest snowratios occur when vertical motion maxima coincide with snow production zone
|
|
(i.e. temperatures between -12 and -18 Celsius).</font>
