Zusammenfassung |
A model for the coupled mass and energy balances of snow on the ground
requires representations of absorption of solar radiation by snow, heat
conduction in snow, compaction of snow, transfer of heat to snow from the
air and retention and refreezing of meltwater in snow. Many such models
exist, but it has proven hard to relate their relative performances to the
complexity of their process representations. This paper describes the
systematic development of an open-source snowpack model with two levels of
representation for each of the five processes mentioned above, allowing
factorial experimental designs with 32 different model configurations. The
model is demonstrated using driving and evaluation data recorded over one
winter at an alpine site. |
