Implementation of a physically based water percolation routine in the Crocus/SURFEX (V7.3) snowpack model
We present a new water percolation routine added to the one-dimensional snowpack model Crocus as an alternative to the empirical bucket routine. This routine solves the Richards equation, which describes flow of water through unsaturated porous snow governed by capillary suction, gravity and hydr...
