Description:Accurate prediction of snowpack evolution and ablation is critical to supporting weather and hydrological applications. Convection-permitting modeling has been shown to well capture observed snowpack evolution over many western United States (U.S.) mountain ranges, but some significant ablation biases still remain. In this study, we conduct process-level snowpack analyses of a widely used convection-permitting (4-km) weather research and forecasting (WRF) modeling product (WRF4km) for the contiguous U.S. to understand the mechanisms causing its unobserved early-spring snow ablation over Utah mountains. Analyses across Utah Snowpack Telemetry (SNOTEL) sites show that the unobserved
