| Zusammenfassung |
| This paper describes the spreadsheet-based point energy balance model
ESCIMO.spread which simulates the energy and mass balance as well as
melt rates at the snow surface. The model makes use of hourly recordings of
temperature, precipitation, wind speed, relative humidity, and incoming
global and longwave radiation. The effect of potential climate change on the
seasonal evolution of the snow cover can be estimated by modifying the time
series of observed temperature and precipitation by means of adjustable
parameters. Model output is graphically visualized in hourly and daily
diagrams. The results compare well with weekly measured snow water equivalent
(SWE). The model is easily portable and adjustable, and runs particularly
fast: an hourly calculation of a one winter season is instantaneous on a
standard computer. ESCIMO.spread can be obtained from the authors on
request. |
