the Sagavanirktok (13,890 km^). Their snowmelt model included energy 

 exchanges due to solar radiation, convection, longwave radiation and 

 other modes. The calculated melt was routed through a linear storage 

 reservoir {n = 1), and then delayed for a specified lag period. Values of 

 the parameter K and the lag period L (Table 2-7) were determined by an 

 optimization procedure to reproduce the runoff measured at the gaging 

 station. The values of K decrease with watershed size, and the values of L
