Decomposition of the mean squared error and NSE performance criteria: Implications for improving hydrological modelling
TL;DR: A diagnostically interesting decomposition of NSE is presented, which facilitates analysis of the relative importance of its different components in the context of hydrological modelling, and it is shown how model calibration problems can arise due to interactions among these components.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward a complete Himalayan hydrological budget: Spatiotemporal distribution of snowmelt and rainfall and their impact on river discharge
TL;DR: In this article, a combination of validated remotely-sensed climate parameters was used to characterize the spatiotemporal distribution of rainfall, snowfall, and evapotranspiration in order to quantify their relative contribution to mean river discharge.

Mountain Weather and Climate
J. A. Taylor,Roger G. Barry +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of mountain bioclimatology and changes in mountain climates, and discuss the role of orography in the evolution of mountain climate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glacier melt: a review of processes and their modelling
TL;DR: In this article, the relevant processes at the surface-atmosphere interface, and their representation in melt models are discussed, and a recent trend towards modelling with both high temporal and spatial resolution, the latter accomplished by fully distributed models.
Journal ArticleDOI
A precipitation shift from snow towards rain leads to a decrease in streamflow
TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply a water-balance framework to catchments in the United States and find a greater percentage of precipitation as snowfall is associated with greater mean streamflow.

Physical Basis for the Temperature-Based Melt-Index Method
TL;DR: The simulation capacity of the temperature-based melt-index method, however, is too good to be called cru... as mentioned in this paper, and is rated as inferior to other more sophisticated methods such as the energy balance method.

A distributed temperature-index ice- and snowmelt model including potential direct solar radiation
TL;DR: In this article, a new distributed temperature-index model is proposed to capture both the pronounced diurnal melt cycles and the spatial variations in melt due to the effects of surrounding topography.
Development and application of a conceptual runoff model for Scandinavian catchments
TL;DR: In this paper, the experiences of conceptual runoff modelling at the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute are surnmarized in the present work and the basic philosophy and the methodology when developing...
