摘要
Numerical simulation of seasonal snowcover has attracted the interest of many scientists in the recent past. The present paper summarises chronologically developments in the understanding of snow properties and discusses various modelling approaches towards simulating the snowpack numerically. The authors describe the evolution of snowcover and the intricate relationship between the evolving snowpack and the atmosphere. The governing equations that describe the evolution of snowcover have been discussed. The merits and limitations of each equation describing a single process have been explained. Modelling strategies adopted by various workers have been analysed, and lastly the requirements of a perfect: model have been brought out. In the absence of complete answers to many other processes, a strategy for the development of an operational snowcover model has been discussed.
