hóvízegyenérték
Hóvízegyenérték (HVE), often translated as snow-water equivalent (SWE), is a crucial measurement in hydrology and meteorology that represents the depth of liquid water that would result from melting a given snowpack. It is a way to quantify the amount of water stored in snow.
To determine the HVE, one typically uses a snow core sampler. This tool extracts a cylinder of
Alternatively, HVE can be estimated using snow density measurements. If the depth of the snowpack and its
HVE is vital for forecasting spring runoff, managing water resources, and understanding drought conditions. A higher
