Toestablishthefirstcorrelation(SNODAStoSNOTELSWEateachSNOTELsite)theSNODASrasters
wereprocessedtoretreivetheSWEvalueateachofthecoordinatesthenwritetheresulttoatextfile.
AsimplecorrelationwasmadebyplottingthevaluesagainstSNOTELvalues.Furtherdiscussiononthis
correlationisgiveninthefollowingsection.
TheanalysisforspatialvariationofsnowwaterrequiredthedailymeanSWEvalueineachwatershed,
calculatedusingtheSNODASrasters.Asbefore,theoutputwaswrittentoatextfileandthenplotted
againsttheSNODASSWEvalueattherespectiveSNOTELsite.Regressionanalysiswasthenusedto
establishacorrelation.
Thecorrelationofwatershedavailablevolumetostreamflowprovedtobeoneofthemostrigorous
aspectsoftheproject.Thedecisionwasmadetobaseavailablevolumeoffofaccumulatedsnowwater
overtheseason.Usingthemaximumvalueswouldlikelyhavebeenasimplertask,withnearresults,but
usingtheaccumulatedsnowfallcontrolledforanysnowmelt(andrunoff)betweensnowstorms,
especiallyinthelateseason.Thisapproachrequiredtakingthefirstrasterinthefilelistandfinding
wherethenetdifferenceinthesucceedingrasterwaspositive(wheresnowfell).Thisprocesswas
repeatedforeachraster,withtheresultofeachbeingsummedtoproduceafinalcumulativesnowfall
rasterovertheentirearea.Eachwatershedboundarywasthenusedasacookiecuttertoextractthe
dataforeachwatershedtoitsownraster.Thisprocesswasrepeatedforeachyearofthestudy.
Thestreamflowdatacameasdailyaverageflowrate.Theflowratewasconvertedtototaldailyvolume
andthenseasonaltotals(March1May31)wereplottedagainsttotalvolumeavailablecalculatedfrom
theSNODASdata,asdescribedabove.Thiscorrelationwasmadeonceforeachofthetwowatersheds
withstreamgauges,withtheintenttoapplythesamecorrelationtotheothertwowatershedsontheir
respectivesidesofthemountain.
ItshouldbenotedthattheSNODASdatawereprocessedusingPythonscripting(espceciallyutilizingthe
arcpymodule)andthescriptsareincludedhereinasAppendixA.SNOTELandstreamflowdata,together

withcorreleationstoSNODASdata,wereprocessedusingExcel.ArcGISwasusedtoveryifyresultsofthe
scripts,dosimpleprocessingsuchaswatersheddeliniationandpresentspatialdata.

DataAnalysis
Intially,thecorrelationbetweenSNODASandSNOTEL(asdescribedintheprevioussection)wasmade
usingdatafromOctober1April30foreachwateryearbecauseitwasassumedthatthisdaterange
wouldadequetlycapturethesnowfallaccumulationseason.Howeveruponplottingthedata,itwas
observedthatlateintheseasonthecorrelationbecameveryweak.Forthisreason,thetimeframewas
adjustedtoOctober1March31anually.Thecorrelationprovedtobemuchstronger.Thus,theresults

Discussion
Themodelcouldnotbecompletedasdesiredascompletedduetoalackofcorrelationbetweenmodeled
watershedavailablevolumeandstreamflow.However,themodelprovidesreasonableaccuracybeforethat
step.Sothemodelmaybeusedtofindanestimateofwatervolumeavailableinthewatersheds.Beforethe
modelisveryuseful,though,acorrelationmustbeestablishedtopredicttherunoffratio.
Thenextmostimportantparametertoconsiderissoilmoisture.SNOTELstationsprovidedsoilmoisture
readingswhichcouldreadilybeincorporatedintotheanalysis.Itisinterestingtonoteastrongcorrelation
betweenwatershedvolumeandrunoffonthenorthside(withlesssolarexposure)butasignificantlyless
correlationonthesouthwheresolarexposureismuchgreater.Assumingsoilmoistureisheavilyinfluenced
bysolarexposure(duetoevaporation),itwouldbeexpectedthatlowerexposercorrelatestomorestable
soilmoistureandthuslessdependenceofonrunoffsoilmoisture.Thisisperhapsevidenceofthecriticalrole
ofsoilmoistureinrunoffforecasting.
ThelackofsoilmoisturedatamayalsoexplaintheissueswiththecorrelationforSouthCreekshownin
Figure10.Thedataseemtoindicatealargeamountofvolumeisneededbeforeanyrunoffispossible.This
differencecouldbeexplainedbyinfiltrationlosses.
Aftersoilmoisture,otherparameterscouldthenbeexplicitlybebuiltintothemodeltoincreaseaccuracy.
Likelycandidatesincludesolarexposure,temperature,preseasonprecipitationandsoilcharacteristics.The
methodofusingcumulativesnowfall,ratherthananotherparametersuchasmaximumsnowfall,shouldalso
bereevaluatedinfutureiterationsofthismodel.
Greateraccuracycouldalsobeachievedbyhavingmoredataavailable,especiallySNOTELdataatBuckboard
Flat.Thisdatawillcomeintime,andsubsequentversionsofthismodelwillbebetterbecauseofit.

Conclusion
Whilethedesiredresultwasnotachieved,someconclusionswereabletobemade.Astrongcorrelationcan
bemadebetweenSNODASmodeleddataandSNOTELmeasuredsnowwaterequivalentintheseregions.A
morerigoroushydrologicmodelwouldallowforacorrelationbetweenwatershedsnowvolumeandstream
