Short summary
The percolation of liquid water down snowpacks is a complex phenomenon, and its representation can sometimes be complicated for snowpack models. The goal of this article is to transpose some state-of-the-art strategies used for modeling liquid percolation in other media (such as rocks or soil) into snowpack models. With this, snowpack models can be made more efficient, requiring less time and power to perform their computation.
