Snowmelt and Snow Sublimation in the Indus Basin
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Indus basin is considered as the one with highest dependence on snowmelt runoff in High Mountain Asia. recent Asia snow reanalysis enables us to go beyond previous studies by evaluating both and sublimation at scale. Over 2000–2016, basin-average was 101 ± 11 Gt.a−1 (121 13 mm.a−1), which represents about 25–30% of annual precipitation. Snow accounts for 11% mean ablation, but a large spatial variability across basin.

Numerical simulation of drifting snow sublimation in the saltation layer
Snow sublimation is an important hydrological process and one of the main causes of the temporal and spatial variation of snow distribution. Compared with surface sublimation, drifting snow sublimation is more effective due to the greater surface exposure area of snow particles in the air. Previous studies of drifting snow sublimation have focused on suspended snow, and few have considered salt...
متن کاملGroundwater management for Lower Indus Basin
The present study aims to find out an optimum policy for pumping out the optimized volume of groundwater obtained from the authors' earlier Two Level Optimization Model [N.K. Garg, A. Ali, 1998. Two level optimization model for Lower Indus Basin. Agric. Water Manage. 36, 1±21] for the Dadu Canal Command of the Lower Indus Basin. It is shown that the tubewells in this canal command may be operat...
متن کاملConflicting Signals of Climatic Change in the Upper Indus Basin
Temperature data for seven instrumental records in the Karakoram and Hindu Kush Mountains of the Upper Indus Basin (UIB) have been analyzed for seasonal and annual trends over the period 1961–2000 and compared with neighboring mountain regions and the Indian subcontinent. Strong contrasts are found between the behavior of winter and summer temperatures and between maximum and minimum temperatur...
متن کاملIs snow sublimation important in the alpine water balance?
In alpine terrain, snow sublimation represents an important component of the winter moisture budget, representing a proportion of precipitation which does not contribute to melt. To quantify its amount we analyze the spatial pattern of snow sublimation at the ground, from a canopy and from turbulent suspension during wind-induced snow transport for a high alpine area in the Berchtesgaden Nation...
