Figure 2. Pictures of low, mid and high elevation portions of the Salmon River basin on March 7, 2009. Temperature lapse rates generate notable contrasts in the dominant precipitation phase and snow storage within different elevation zones of mountainous watersheds. These pictures demonstrate the large spatial scale snow patchiness that can exist in high relief topography. Pictures courtesy of Benjamin Crosby (Idaho State University, Pocatello Idaho).
