    • Abstract

  • This dataset was used for a study on 1999-2005 drought impacts on prairie wetland snow hydrology which used field data collected at the St Denis National Wildfire Area. The study involved modelling with the Cold Regions Hydrological Model (CRHM). For further information on CRHM see Pomeroy et al 2007. Data collected came from EC and U of S researchers. See Fang and Pomeroy 2007 and 2008 for publications arising from this study. References: Fang, X. and Pomeroy, J.W. 2007. Snowmelt runoff sensitivity analysis to drought on the Canadian Prairies.
