SNOWMIP2: An evaluation of forest snow process simulations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Radiometer used for above canopy radiation measurements in Aptal, Switzerland. An intercomparison with a high level of participation reveals strengths and weaknesses in our current ability to simulate forest snow processes, with implications for meteorological, hydrological, and ecological modeling.

An Improved Snow Scheme for the ECMWF Land Surface Model: Description and Offline Validation
A new snow scheme for the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) land surface model has been tested and validated. The scheme includes a new parameterization of snow density, incorporating a liquid water reservoir, and revised formulations for the subgrid snow cover fraction and snow albedo. Offline validation (covering a wide range of spatial and temporal scales) includes s...
متن کاملDetermining the Snow Coefficient in order to simulate the snow melting in the Shemshak Watershed Using the WetSpa Model
In mountainous regions, snow forms a part of the precipitation. Therefore, snow melting is an important process in hydrology and hydraulic in these areas that its role should be considered independently in runoff generation. The Shemshak watershed basin located in Tehran province was selected as the study area of this research to examine the efficiency of the WetSpa hydrologic model to simulate...
متن کاملItree-hydro: Snow Hydrology Update for the Urban Forest Hydrology Model
This article presents snow hydrology updates made to iTree-Hydro, previously called the Urban Forest Effects—Hydrology model. iTree-Hydro Version 1 was a warm climate model developed by the USDA Forest Service to provide a process-based planning tool with robust water quantity and quality predictions given data limitations common to most urban areas. Cold climate hydrology routines presented in...
متن کاملSnow ablation modelling in a mature aspen stand of the boreal forest
Snow ablation modelling at the stand scale must account for the variability in snow cover and the large variations of components of energy transfer at the forest ̄oor. Our previous work successfully predicted snow ablation in a mature jack pine stand by using a one-dimensional snow process model and models predicting radiation below forest canopies. This work represents a second test of our bas...
متن کاملComputational snow avalanche simulation in forested terrain
Two-dimensional avalanche simulation software operating in three-dimensional terrain is widely used for hazard zoning and engineering to predict runout distances and impact pressures of snow avalanche events. Mountain forests are an effective biological protection measure against avalanches; however, the protective capacity of forests to decelerate or even to stop avalanches that start within f...
