Figure 10. (Left) Shaped solution for snow water equivalent for day 110 in the sparse forest at 900-m
elevation. (Right) Shaped solution for snow density derived from the depth and water equivalent cones.
The arrows at the vertices represent the maximum (north-south) and minimum (east-west) Δ SWE (cm)
and Δ density (kg m –3 ), respectively, relative to the 0° slope case. The arrows are not to scale. Corrections to
r=0 on minimum axes are not shown.
