# SnowModel development: Gravity-drainage snowpack liquid water percolation

![combined](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/20308427/92159459-4a1c9380-ede2-11ea-8a07-99015fa9e4a9.jpg)

##### This repository contains developments to the SnowModel distributed model framework [(Liston and Elder, 2004)](https://journals.ametsoc.org/jhm/article/7/6/1259/5465) detailed in [Pflug et al. (2019)](https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1029/[email protected]/(ISSN)1944-7973.SNOWEX1). Model developments were focused on liquid water movement in the modeled snowpack and are appropriate for only multilayer simulations. Liquid water movement relies more-heavily on snow temperature than the default model and therefore requires simulations with model forcing at at least 3-hourly timesteps, or more frequent. In addition to developments for liquid water percolation:
* An option for the user to explicitly define frozen precipitation (instead of using the default precipitation-phase partition) is included
* The 2-layer model used in Pflug et al. (2019) is included
