The method of temperature coefficients along with detail digital maps and GIS-technologies were used to develop a model of spring snow melting, which takes into account the high-accuracy spatial distribution of meteorological data, relief features, and soil-vegetation cover. The effect of slope aspect on the processes of spring snow melting was evaluated with the use of correction coefficients, and a procedure for determining their optimal values was developed. A method was proposed for verification and validation of the calculated spatial distribution of snow cover with the use of space monitoring data.
