“…Most of the precipitation occurs between January and March due to the influence of the Mediterranean climate, and therefore areas above 1200 m a.s.l. receive between 50 % and 67 % of their total annual precipitation as snow (Shaban et al, 2004;Aouad-Rizk et al, 2005;Mhawej et al, 2014;Telesca et al, 2014). Winter precipitation events are due to the orographic lifting of the cold northerly currents from the Anatolian plateau (Fish, 1944).…”

“…Lebanon and to the south is also expressed in the isotopic composition and amount of rainfall. The studies of Aouad-Rizk et al (2005), Gat et al (2003), andSaad et al (2005) showed more positive isotopic rainfall values and a lower rainfall amount toward the south, impacting the water balance (P-E) and effective infiltration in karstic systems along the Levantine coast and mountain chains.…”

“…Due to the influence of the Mediterranean climate (wet winter, dry summer) most of the precipitation above 1200 m a.s.l. falls as snow on Mount Lebanon (Shaban et al, 2004;Aouad-Rizk et al, 2005;Mhawej et al, 2014;UNDP, 2014). The average contribution of snowmelt to spring and river discharge in Mount Lebanon was estimated at 30 % by Telesca et al (2014).…”

“…Although snow is recognized as a major component of the hydrologic system in Mount Lebanon (Shaban et al, 2004;Aouad-Rizk et al, 2005;Bakalowicz et al, 2008;Mhawej et al, 2014;Königer and Margane, 2014), the link between snowmelt and the hydrological processes remains poorly characterized on the basin scale. This can be attributed to the (1) lack of an operational snow observation network in Lebanon and (2) limited number of published basin-scale hydrometeorological datasets.…”
