Assimilation of snow cover and snow depth into a snow model to estimate snow water equivalent and snowmelt runoff in a Himalayan catchment
Snow is an important component of water storage in the Himalayas.Previous snowmelt studies in Waterproof Coats the Himalayas have predominantly relied on remotely sensed snow cover.However, snow cover data provide no direct information on the actual amount of water stored in a snowpack, i.e., the snow water equivalent (SWE).Therefore, in this study
