Detailed Description

Snowmelt — degree-day and rain-on-snow methods.

Batch-oriented: all snowpack computations use the same daily temperature/wind. The per-subcatchment snowmelt calculation is independent and vectorisable. Three subareas (plowable, imperv, perv) are processed per subcatchment — inner loop can be unrolled.

Key vectorisable operations:

• ATI update: ati += tipm * (Ta - ati) → batch over subcatchments
• Degree-day melt: smelt = dhm * (Ta - Tbase) → batch over subcatchments
• Cold content update: cc += rnm * dhm * (ati - Ta) * dt → batch
• Snow accumulation: wsnow += snowfall * dt → batch
