Melt coefficient: used to compute snowmelt during each hour with snowpack and temperature above the base temperature.

        Melt Rate = (Melt Coefficient) * (Air Temperature - Base Temperature)

 

Base temperature: air temperature above which snow melts. Snow accumulates at and below this temperature
