Climate change effects on snow melt and discharge of a partly glacierized watershed in Central Switzerland (SoilTrec Critical Zone Observatory)
Description: A comprehensive hydrological modeling study in the drainage area of a hydropower reservoir in central Switzerland is presented. Two models were tested to reproduce the measured discharge dynamics: (1) a detailed energy-balance model primarily designed for snow simulations; (2) a conceptual runoff model system, including a distributed temperature-index snow and ice melt model. The research suggest a shift of spring peak-flow by almost two months for the end of the century. [Source: Applied Geochemistry]
