Using the US Army snowmelt equation for a partial forest cov

Using the U.S Army snowmelt equation for a partial forest covered a 160acre area with a watershed constant of 0.5, average wind speed of 10mph (50ft above snow), a temperature of 40deg F, and an average rainfall of 0.4in/day.

a) What is the expected daily snowmelt in acre-/day?

Solution

Given data,A=160acre

Watershed constant (k)=.5

hight(h)=50×12=600 inch

Avg rainfall(p)=.4inch/day

Daily snow fall=(K×P×A)/h

=(.5×.4×160)/600

=.05333acres /day
