As a a UCSB Geography graduate student researcher at ICESS I worked primarily on distributed snowmelt modeling in the headwaters of Tokopah Valley in Sequoia National Park.  Here are some pictures of the study area and a slightly less than perfect PDF conversion of my thesis.

My first attempt involved running SNTHERM89 on approximately 22,000 pixels. I created animations of the hourly inputs of air temperature (21.5mb), relative humidity (14mb), wind speed (12.2mb), incoming long wave radiation (15.9mb), and incoming solar radiation (24.5mb).

The initial run of 45 days from April 1 to May 16, 1997 with hourly outputs generated just over 60gb of data. I found that the best way to sift through this much data is by viewing animations of the various surfaces generated: SMelt (8.4mb) is an abbreviated version of the melt surfaces starting at the modeled onset (day of year 110 or April 20) of melt and SSWE (8.4mb) is an animation of snow water equivalence over the same abbreviated time period. Other animations include liquid water content (14.7mb)cold content (15.3mb), snow pack depth (12.4mb) and density (24.9mb), and snow surface grain size (16.3mb).

Mainly for my own convenience, I've included a link to the most recent versions of the sntherm89 and MrSntherm documentation that I have.
