The cold regions hydrological model: a platform for basing process representation and model structure on physical evidence
Abstract After a programme of integrated field and modelling research, hydrological processes of considerable uncertainty such as snow redistribution by wind, snow interception, sublimation, snowmelt, infiltration into frozen soils, hillslope water movement over permafrost, actual evaporation, and r...
