Intra‐basin variability of snowmelt water balance calculations in a subarctic catchment

Abstract The intra‐basin variability of snowmelt and melt‐water runoff hydrology in an 8 km 2 subarctic alpine tundra catchment was examined for the 2003 melt period. The catchment, Granger Creek, is within the Wolf Creek Research Basin, Yukon, which is typical of mountain subarctic landscapes in northwestern Canada. The study catchment was segmented into nine internally uniform zones termed hydrological response units (HRUs) based on their …
