Physically-based models of blowing snow and wind¯ow are used to develop a distributed model of blowing snow transport and sublimation over complex terrain. The model is applied to an arctic tundra basin. A reasonable agreement with results from snow surveys is obtained, provided sublimation processe

Transportation, sublimation and accumulation of snow dominate snow cover development in the Arctic and produce episodic high evaporative ¯uxes. Unfortunately, blowing snow processes are not presently incorporated in any hydrological or meteorological models. To demonstrate the application of simple
## Abstract Blowing snow transports and sublimates a substantial portion of the seasonal snowfall in the prairies of western Canada. Snow redistribution is an important feature of prairie hydrology as deep snowdrifts provide a source of meltwater to replenish ponds and generate streamflow in this d
