Current snow models – including the most sophisticated ones, such as CROCUS and SNOWPACK – struggle to properly simulate Arctic snowpack characteristics such as density profiles. Indeed, those models have been developed and designed for Alpine …
This talk describes the preliminary work intended to serve as a basis for the development of a multilayer snow model adapted for the Arctic region in the Canadian Land Surface Scheme Including Biogeochemical Cycles (CLASSIC). Ten sites – including …
One of the current limitations of the Canadian Land Surface Scheme including Biogeochemical Cycles (CLASSIC) is the use of a single-layer snow scheme, without an explicit parameterization for the snow cover fraction (SCF) and blowing snow sublimation …
