Modeling liquid water transport in snow under rain-on-snow conditions considering preferential flow
Original language description
Rain on snow (ROS) has the potential to gener- ate severe floods. Thus, precisely predicting the effect of an approaching ROS event on runoff formation is very impor- tant. Data analyses from past ROS events have shown that a snowpack experiencing ROS can either release runoff im- mediately or delay it considerably. This delay is a result of refreeze of liquid water and water transport, which in turn is dependent on snow grain properties but also on the pres- ence of structures such as ice layers or capillary barriers. During sprinkling experiments, preferential flow was found to be a process that critically impacted the timing of snow- pack runoff. However, current one-dimensional operational snowpack models are not capable of addressing this phe- nomenon. For this study, the detailed physics-based snow- pack model SNOWPACK is extended with a water transport scheme accounting for preferential flow. The implemented Richards equation solver is modified using a dual-domain approach to simulate water tr
