✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Snow cover patterns in a 9.4 km^2^ basin in the Austrian Alps are examined during spring and summer 1989. Digital mono‐plotting from oblique aerophotographs is used for mapping. on the basis of a square grid with 25 m spacing, snow cover as mapped during nine surveys is analysed as a function of elevation and slope. During winter conditions the snow cover is found to be much better related to these terrain features than during the late ablation period.

We describe an objective method for evaluating the spatial distribution of water equivalents of the snow cover within a small catchment. Regression analysis is used to quantify the relationship between elevation, presence or absence of forest, and potential direct solar radiation as independent vari
