CHAPTER 11 Analysis of snow

Snow depth is a model prognostic variable that needs to be analysed. Its analysis is performed in a module that is currently separated from the analysis of the atmosphere and of the soil wetness. This module includes also the sea-surface temperature, sea-ice fraction and screen-level temperature and relative humidity.
