Snowmelt Runoff Model for Windows (WinSRM)

Published by Agricultural Research Service | Department of Agriculture | Metadata Last Checked: June 24, 2025 | Last Modified: 2024-02-13
<p>The Snowmelt-Runoff Model (WinSRM) is designed to simulate and forecast daily streamflow in mountain basins where snowmelt is a major runoff factor. The Snowmelt Runoff Model (SRM) is a simple degree-day model that requires remote sensing input in the form of basin or zonal snow cover extent. The model has been tested successfully on over 60 basins worldwide in the simulation and forecast modes. Model variables are derived from actual observations of temperature, precipitation, and snow covered area. Model parameters can either be derived from measurements or estimated by hydrological judgement taking into account the basin characteristics, physical laws, and theoretical or empirical relationships. To facilitate use of SRM, a microcomputer version of the program has been developed for IBM compatible personal computers. The program itself features user-oriented input and multiple self-help screens which allow the user to select the kind of data input employed and the output products desired. </p><div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: Snowmelt Runoff Model for Windows (WinSRM).</p> <p>File Name: Web Page, url: <a href="https://www.ars.usda.gov/research/software/download/?softwareid=7&modecode=80-42-05-10">https://www.ars.usda.gov/research/software/download/?softwareid=7&modecode=80-42-05-10</a> </p><p>download page</p></li></ul><p></p>
