THE ROLE OF SNOW IN THE FORMATION OF WATER FLOW IN SUCEAVA HYDROGRAPHIC BASIN
PORCUȚAN ADRIANA MIHAELA
Abstract. The role of snow in the formation of water flow in Suceava hydrographic basin. The hydrographic basin of the Suceava River is situated in the North-East sector of the Northern Carpathian Group from the Romanian Carpathians, more precisely, and much of the Suceava Plateau, a subunit of the Moldavian Plateau. The floods produced on the rivers in this basin were directly influenced by fallen liquid precipitations.
The study is based on the processing and interpretation of climatic data about the snow layer recorded throughout the period. Also, data on the floods in the Suceava River Basin were recorded at eight hydrometer stations, three of which are located on the main course and five are on the main tributaries. The analysed period for the snow layer and its influence on the water flow formation in the study basin during the period 1961-2015, focusing on the variation in snow thickness and length over the analysed period.
Finally, the influence of the snow layer on the drainage of the water and the drainage of the Suceava river basin during the analysed period with effect on large waters, floods and small waters was presented.
Key-words: snow, layer, basin, water flow, melting, periodic.
