Modelling the hydrological response of debris‐free and debris‐covered glaciers to present climatic conditions in the semiarid Andes of central Chile
We apply the process‐based, distributed TOPKAPI‐ETH glacio‐hydrological model to a
glacierized catchment (19% glacierized) in the semiarid Andes of central Chile. The …
