Elevation-dependent compensation effects in snowmelt in the Rhine River Basin upstream gauge Basel

In snow-dominated river basins, floods often occur during early summer, when snowmelt-induced runoff superimposes with rainfall-induced runoff. An earlier onset of seasonal snowmelt as a consequence of a warming climate is often expected to shift snowmelt contribution to river runoff and potential f...
