“…Geographical scales thereby ranged from particular sites up to regional catchments (100 000 km 2 ). Thereby, the derivatives of the model, implemented in various programming languages, have been integrated in -the SVAT scheme PROMET (P rocesses of Radiation, Mass and Energy T ransfer) for distributed, physically based water balance simulations including sophisticated formulations of the matter and energy fluxes in the soil, plants and in the atmospheric boundary layer (Mauser and Bach, 2009;Strasser and Mauser, 2001;Mauser and Schädlich, 1998;Strasser, 1998;Taschner et al, 1998),…”

Abstract. This paper describes the spreadsheet-based point energy balance model ESCIMO.spread which simulates the energy and mass balance as well as melt rates at the snow surface. The model makes use of hourly recordings of temperature, precipitation, wind speed, relative humidity, and incoming global and longwave radiation. The effect of potential climate change on the seasonal evolution of the snow cover can be estimated by modifying the time series of observed temperature and precipitation by means of adjustable parameters. Model output is graphically visualized in hourly and daily diagrams. The results compare well with weekly measured snow water equivalent (SWE). The model is easily portable and adjustable, and runs particularly fast: an hourly calculation of a one winter season is instantaneous on a standard computer. ESICMO.spread can be obtained from the authors on request.
