Improving the degree-day method for sub-daily melt simulations with physically-based diurnal variations

Bettina Schaefli, Guillermo Barrenetxea Kobas, Marc Parlange, Cara Christine Tobin, Andrea Rinaldo, Silvia Simoni, Ludovico Nicotina

This paper proposes a new extension of the classical degree-day snowmelt model applicable to hourly simulations for regions with limited data and adaptable to a broad range of spatially-explicit hydrological models. The snowmelt schemes have been tested wi ...

Improving Alpine Flood Prediction through Hydrological Process Characterization and Uncertainty Analysis

Cara Christine Tobin

Among the many challenges of Alpine flood prediction is describing complex, meteo-hydrological processes in a simplified, robust manner that can be easily integrated into operational forecasting. In this dissertation, improved methods to characterize these ...

Snowfall Limit Forecasts and Hydrological Modeling

Bettina Schaefli, Cara Christine Tobin, Andrea Rinaldo

Hydrological flood forecasting in mountainous areas requires accurate partitioning between rain and snowfall to properly estimate the extent of runoff contributing areas. Here a method to make use of snowfall limit information-a standard output of limited- ...

Improved interpolation of meteorological forcings and hydrologic implications for a Swiss alpine region

Marc Parlange, Alexis Berne, Cara Christine Tobin, Andrea Rinaldo, Ludovico Nicotina

This paper presents a comparative study on the mapping of temperature and precipitation fields in complex Alpine terrain. Its relevance hinges on the major impact that inadequate interpolations of meteorological forcings bear on the accuracy of hydrologic ...
