Snowpack runoff formation processes during rain-on-snow events
Rain-on-snow (ROS) events cause repeated flooding in many mountainous regions with a seasonal snow cover. The complex interaction of processes across spatial scales makes it difficult to accurately predict the effect of snow cover on runoff formation for a ...
EPFL2018Modelling liquid water transport in snow under rain-on-snow conditions – considering preferential flow
Michael Lehning, Nander Wever, Sebastian Würzer, Tobias Jonas
Rain on snow (ROS) has the potential to generate severe floods. Thus, precisely predicting the effect of an approaching ROS event on runoff formation is very important. Data analyses from past ROS events have shown that a snowpack experiencing ROS can eith ...
Copernicus GmbH2017Influence of Initial Snowpack Properties on Runoff Formation during Rain-on-Snow Events
Michael Lehning, Nander Wever, Sebastian Würzer, Tobias Jonas
Rain-on-snow (ROS) events have caused severe floods inmountainous areas in the recent past. Because of the complex interactions of physical processes, it is still difficult to accurately predict the effect of snow cover on runoff formation for an upcoming ...
American Meteorological Society2016Recent advances in liquid water flow modelling in the physics based SNOWPACK model
Michael Lehning, Nander Wever, Sebastian Würzer, Charles Fierz
Simulating liquid water flow in snow has deserved much attention in the physics based snow modelling community, as it is a crucial factor in understanding hydrological processes in alpine catchments, snowpack stratification and wet snow avalanche formation ...
2016Simulating ice layer formation under the presence of preferential flow in layered snowpacks
Michael Lehning, Nander Wever, Sebastian Würzer, Charles Fierz
For physics-based snow cover models, simulating the formation of dense ice layers inside the snowpack has been a long-time challenge. Their formation is considered to be tightly coupled to the presence of preferential flow, which is assumed to happen throu ...
