Snow melt: Evaluation of an energy balance model

Abstract: The Senorge snow model is used to simulate snow depth and snow water equivalent for five Armenian sites with existing time series of precipitation

Altitudinal distribution of winter, summer and annual mass balance at Rembesdalskåka in 2019. Based on the snow depth measurements the spatial distribution of the winter balance was

Altitudinal distribution of winter, summer and annual mass balance at Rembesdalskåka in 2020. Based on the snow depth measurements the spatial distribution of the winter balance was

The calculation of winter balance is based on point measurements of snow depth (stakes, core samples and soundings) and on measurement of snow density at one representative

The calculation of winter balance is based on point measurements of snow depth (stakes and soundings) and on measurement of snow density at one representative location.. Soundings

The revised melt rate model (section 3) is able to provide a better fit to the daily snow melt rate data from the NVEs snow pillows, and a more physically realistic melting, than

The scheme is used to match simulated moisture fluxes in hourly and 3-hourly energy balance mode to the daily water balance simulation results, and to match hourly energy balance

In the evaluation, the seNorge snow model is run with the temperature and precipitation from the seNorge1.1 and seNorge2 conventional climatological datasets as forcing in the
