IONIC pulse of snowmelt and its runoff in seasonally snow-covered alpine catchments was de-fined by Johannessen et al. When a snowpack begins melting, the first meltwater drainingthrough the pack carries a large fraction of the soluble ions with it, an ionic pulse. 10% of thefirst meltwater may drain 80% of the soluble contents out of the snowpack within severalhours or days. In other words, an ionic pulse designates a peak in ionic concentration duringthe initial melting process of a snowpack. The peak has been proved by a plot test 10 times as...
