ABSTRACT In needleleaf forests, up to half of annual snowfall may be returned the atmosphere through sublimation snow intercepted in canopy. However, limited and sparse observations interception ablation processes have hindered development fundamental theories underpinning current estimates accumulation forests. Existing parameterisations for been developed locations with distinctive climate, tree species forest structures, resulting inconsistent non‐comprehensive process representations. This variability limits transferability these across diverse landscapes climates. Moreover, difficulties isolating individual field‐based measurements has led that inadvertently coupled multiple processes, adding uncertainty. Many studies also simplified original do not include recent advances from observational studies. review article aims elucidate theoretical foundations assumptions underlying provide a better understanding uncertainties existing methods identify priorities future The behind are reviewed necessary context examining parameterisations.
