Abstract
The extension of the well-known surface process model SNOWPACK to the soil is relatively new. Studies have mostly been conducted in high-altitude alpine areas, characterized by coarse-grained permafrost. Investigating the role of soil at all altitudes is crucial for various fields, such as catchment hydrology, geotechnical engineering, biology and agriculture. A thorough understanding of the model behavior can provide a tool to assess water cycle, soil moisture and other phenomena in future variable climate change scenarios. The work focuses on quantities such as ground temperature, soil moisture, water loss by evapotranspiration and produced runoff, which, despite often being studied separately, are highly interconnected.
SNOWPACK allows to evaluate all of them together
