6. One paragraph description of your model (e.g. abstract from report or
   paper);

An interactive snow hydrology scheme suitable for
incorporating into a general circulation model (GCM). The
algorithm accounts for a prognostic calculation of snow depth
and snow fraction and models the hydrological budget and
energy balance over the snow surface. In addition, the
scheme incorporates the effect of sub-grid-scale variations in
topography with a novel statistical approach.
