Solving Richards Equation for snow improves snowpack meltwater runoff estimations in detailed multi-layer snowpack model
The runoff from a snow cover during spring snowmelt or rain-on-snow events is an important factor in the hydrological cycle. In this study, three water balance schemes for the 1 dimensional physically-based snowpack model SNOWPACK are compared to lysimeter measurements at two alpine sites with a sea...
