Snowpack Heterogeneity

Snowpack Heterogeneity is a structural characteristic of the snowpack that denotes the spatial and temporal variation in physical properties such as density, grain size, temperature, and liquid water content within the snow cover, distinguishing it from homogeneous snowpack representations by accounting for microscale and macroscale variability relevant to percolation processes and subnivean hydrological dynamics.
