Abstract
Areal snow-cover data provided by remote sensing enable the areal water equivalent at the start of the snow melt season to be evaluated. To this end, the time scale in the graphical representation of the snow coverage curves is replaced by the totalized computed daily melt depths. These refer to the seasonal snow cover at the starting date and disregard subsequent snowfalls.Keywords
