S2The objective of the following analysis is to examine the process of snow interception in light of the involvement of geophysical and climatological processes within the peculiar geometry of snow held aloft by a conifer canopy, in contrast to the same processes acting on a snowfield on open, level ground. Perhaps an analytical contribution of this kind will stimulate research that will lead to a better understanding of snow interception, and ultimately to application in forest-land management for water yield.S3.
