Scaling precipitation input to spatially distributed hydrological models by measured snow distribution

Scaling precipitation input to spatially distributed hydrological models by measured snow distribution

Accurate knowledge on snow distribution in alpine terrain is crucial for various applicationssuch as flood risk assessment, avalanche warning or managing water supply and hydro-power.To simulate the seasonal snow cover development in alpine terrain, the spatially distributed,physics-based model Alpi...
