Method synopsis

Weekly photography from fixed viewpoints to map snowmelt progression and delineate zones with different snow-free periods. Contours drawn on detailed maps to define study zones.

Synthesized from method descriptions across 4 papers using this protocol.

1. Map snow zones through photography
   Photographed the study area at approximately weekly intervals from adjacent mountainside. Drew contours on detailed map outlining snowcovered areas to define four snow zones covering the period from nearly continuous snow cover in mid-May to complete snowmelt in late July.
   Quantities: Four snow zones mappedDuration: Weekly intervals throughout snowmelt seasonConditions: 1974 growing season, from mid-May through late July
   Equipment: camera
