THE INCORPORATION OF SULFUR-DIOXIDE INTO SNOW AND DEPOSITING ICE.VALDEZ, MARC PHILIP. January 1987 (has links)
Depth profiles of S(IV) and S(VI) in snow exposed to 20-140 ppbv SO₂ for 6 to 12 hours have been determined in 48 laboratory experiments. Surface deposition velocity (v(d)) averaged 0.06 cm s⁻¹. Well-metamorphosed snow, longer run times, higher SO₂ concentrations and colder snow were associated with lower values of v(d), and vice versa. Melting followed by draining increased v(d) greatly (0.14 cm s⁻¹. Any effect of ozone on SO₂ v(d) was undetectable. Most sulfur in the snow was as S(VI), even without added ozone, indicating the presence of other oxidants, especially in new snow. Four NO₂ deposition experiments (average v(d) = 0.007 cm s⁻¹), and one combined SO₂-NO₂ deposition experiment were conducted. Ozone, sunlight and SO₂ did not enhance NO₂ deposition; NO₂ and sunlight did not enhance SO₂ deposition. The deposition of SO₂ into a snowpack is modelled as an aqueous system, where the liquid water is considered to be present on snow grain surfaces. Gas transport into the snow, air-water partitioning, and aqueous-phase reactions are explicitly considered. Three oxidants (Fe- or Mn-catalyzed O₂, O₂, and H₂O₂) act to convert S(IV) to S(VI), acidify the film, and inhibit further S(IV) uptake. Model calculations illustrate the primary importance of liquid-water mass fraction (X(m)) and the secondary importance of oxidative reactions on SO₂ v(d) to snow. Model and experimental results are similar for assumed X(m) on the order of one percent. Experiments were also conducted on the incorporation of SO₂ into ice depositing from the vapor at -7 and -15°C. Remarkably, SO₂ is captured in deposited ice at concentrations comparable to Henry's Law equilibrium with water at 0°C. Ozone and HCHO appear to inhibit, not enhance, SO₂ capture. An aqueous-film model accounting for the capture of SO₂ by depositing ice was developed. S(IV) concentrations may be enhanced in the liquid-like layer on growing ice surfaces due to solute exclusion from the bulk ice and greatly-retarded diffusional transport from the ice/film interface, leading to significant incorporation into the ice despite low distribution coefficients. SO₂ snow scavenging ratios may be comparable to sulfate scavenging ratios in the remote troposphere.

Estimating the Spatial Distribution of Snow Water Equivalent and Simulated Snowmelt Runoff Modeling in Headwater Basins of the Semi-arid SouthwestDressler, Kevin Andrew January 2005 (has links)
The spatial distribution of snowpack in relation to snow water equivalent (SWE) and covered extent is highly variable in time both seasonally and interannually. In order to assess basin water resources, SWE must be distributed to areal estimates. This spatially distributed SWE connects the point scale to the larger scale of the basin (i.e. macro-scale), requiring a combination approach of statistical interpolation techniques and snowpack extent constraint from remote sensing. This research connects those multiple spatial scales and applies the combined remote sensing and ground-based SWE products in a hydrologic model setting to aid in improving streamflow forecasting in the mountainous terrain of snowmelt-dominated basins, a current modeling gap. Four specific advancements were achieved: 1) a comprehensive assessment of spatial distribution techniques in interpolating point snow water equivalent (SWE) measurements at snow telemetry (SNOTEL) stations to the macro-scale was made and an optimal technique for distributing SWE on this scale was obtained; 2) differences between two major data sources of SWE (SNOTEL and snowcourse) were quantified for both point-scale variability and interpolated macro-scale variability to determine spatial and temporal differences in data sources for dry, average and wet years to better inform water resources management applications; 3) basin-scale estimates of ground-based SWE and snow covered area (SCA) from remote sensing were evaluated relative to equivalent fields calculated by a hydrologic model and the effect of assimilating the remote sensing products into the model were investigated; and 4) in the context of (3), improvements were made in macro-scale SCA estimates through both a canopy correction and a low pass statistical filter in an effort to correct for the relatively low resolution of remotely sensed estimates.
