SnowSurfTemperature

Value

Meaning

Air Temperature

The snow surface temperature is estimated as the air temperature at the reference height.

f(E-balance Solution)

The snow surface temperature is estimated by using an iterative solution of the snow surface energy balance (estimating net radiation, sensible and latent heat to the air and heat conduction into the snow) except during situations with melting snow when snow surface temperature is assumed to be 0 ºC.
