The mountain cryosphere and groundwater play pivotal roles in shaping the hydrological
cycle, yet their connectivity remains incompletely understood. Current knowledge on …

For a number of years research has been carried out in several centres which has
demonstrated the potential benefits of 100‐m scale models for a range of meteorological …

Cold regions involve hydrological processes that are not often addressed appropriately in
hydrological models. The Cold Regions Hydrological Modelling platform (CRHM) was …

Predicting wind flow in highly complex terrain like the Alps is a challenge for all models.
When physical processes need to be resolved in a spatially explicit manner, grids with high …

Abstract Space-based, global-extent digital elevation models (DEMs) are key inputs to many
Earth sciences applications. However, many of these applications require the use of a'bare …

The seasonal evolution of snow cover has significant impacts on the hydrological cycle and
microclimate in mountainous regions. However, snow processes also play a crucial role in …

Abstract High Mountain Asia (HMA) is among the most vulnerable water towers globally and
yet future projections of water availability in and from its high‐mountain catchments remain …

Cold regions provide water resources for half the global population yet face rapid change.
Their hydrology is dominated by snow, ice and frozen soils, and climate warming is having …

Data assimilation techniques that integrate available observations with snow models have
been proposed as a viable option to simultaneously help constrain model uncertainty and …

Accurate knowledge of the seasonal snow distribution is vital in several domains including
ecology, water resources management, and tourism. Current spaceborne sensors provide a …
