- Description:
- The purpose of this research was to investigate whether there is a possibility of using satellite imagery to finely calibrate large scale basin runoff models. It is anticipated that by better understanding the snowcover depletion patterns in a basin the runoff models might be adjusted to better forecast both quantity and timing of runoff especially in the late stages of the snowmelt season. This forecasting of runoff is essential to the optimal operation of large multi-purpose, multi-reservoir water control systems. While no actual field or laboratory research was carried out, as a result of this project, a detailed literature review was made and contacts were made with many agency officials. The literature review, agency contacts and various parts of this report will serve as springboards in efforts to secure future funding in this research area. [...]
