more widely useable for hydrological applications after it is tested in different
geographic regions. The snow cover data for each basin or zone are input into the
Snowmelt Runoff Model (SRM) for use in forecasting the seasonal snowmelt runoff
volume in the Pyrenees to assist in planning hydropower production.
