Seasonal snow accumulation in the mid-latitude forested catchment
Original language description
The article deals with the snow cover characteristics (snow depth ? SD and snow water equivalent - SWE) concerning the mid-latitude forested catchment. Namely, the influence of forest canopy (spruce and beech forest) and altitude (ranging from 835 m a.s.l. to 1118 m a.s.l.) was investigated. Forest cover was proved to have a significant influence on the snow cover accumulation, reducing the SWE by 48 % on average, compared to open sites. The elevation gradient concerning SWE ranged from 30 to 40 mm andfrom 5 to 20 mm per 100 m in open and forested sites, respectively. Its magnitude was found to be temporarily variable and positively related to total seasonal snowfall amount. The differences among interception losses, concerning various elevations andforest canopy, were not statistically significant.
