nixmass

R-package with functions for Snow Water Equivalent Modeling with the $\Delta\text{SNOW}$ Model, the HS2SWE Model and some Empirical Regression Models.

Snow water equivalent can be modeled either with the process based models $\Delta\text{SNOW}$ and HS2SWE, or with empirical regression models, which use relationships between density and diverse at-site parameters. The $\Delta\text{SNOW}$ model is described in Winkler et al. (2021), the HS2SWE model is described in Magnusson et al., (2025), the empirical regression models in Guyennon et al. (2019), Pistocchi (2016), Jonas et al. (2009) and Sturm et al. (2010).
