Study on snowmelt runoff simulation in the Kaidu River basin

Abstract: Alpine snowmelt is an important generation mode for runoff in the source region of the Tarim River basin, which covers four subbasins characterized by large area, sparse gauge stations, mixed runoff supplied by snowmelt and rainfall, and remarkably spatially heterogeneous precipitation. Taking the Kaidu River basin as a research area, this study analyzes the influence of these characteristics on the variables and parameters of the Snow Runoff Model and discusses the corresponding determination strategy to impr… Show more

“…There is still snowmelt runoff generated even if the mean daily temperature is lower than the snowmelt temperature, as long as the highest daily temperature is higher than the snowmelt temperature. The snowmelt may be underestimated if it is not considered in the runoff simulation [23]. The effective accumulated temperature could be used to describe the variation of the snowmelt and soil physical state.…”

“…The hydrology of the basins is controlled by snowmelt and summer orographic precipitations (Zhang et al, 2002;Yang and Cui, 2005). Snow accumulates from November to March, and starts melting in April, inducing the water discharge to rise in all rivers (Zhang et al, 2007). Orographic precipitation takes over in summer (be- tween 260 and 290 mm), and the discharge continues to rise until August (Fig.…”

“…The other approach hypothesizes that temperature alone cannot adequately explain the processes of snowmelt (Marks et al 1998NEH 2004;Zhang et al 2007). For example, in situations where a combination of warm temperature plus high humidity and wind speed prevail, sensible and latent heats become substantial, if not dominant, sources of energy for snowmelt, not the usual net incoming solar radiation.…”
