Zusammenfassung |
In high mountainous catchments, the spatial precipitation and therefore the
overall water balance is generally difficult to estimate. The present paper
describes the structure and calibration of a semi-lumped conceptual
glacio-hydrological model for the joint simulation of daily discharge and
annual glacier mass balance that represents a better integrator of the water
balance. The model has been developed for climate change impact studies and
has therefore a parsimonious structure; it requires three input times series
- precipitation, temperature and potential evapotranspiration - and has 7
parameters to calibrate. A multi-signal approach considering daily discharge
and - if available - annual glacier mass balance has been developed for the
calibration of these parameters. The model has been calibrated for three
different catchments in the Swiss Alps having glaciation rates between
37% and 52%. It simulates well the observed daily discharge, the
hydrological regime and some basic glaciological features, such as the
annual mass balance. |
