Want do know about current status and future of rain-on-snow runoff events in central European mountain catchments? Check our new paper led by Ondřej Hotový from @sciencecharles.bsky.social at hess.copernicus.org/articles/29/.... Big thanks also to @jansei.bsky.social for great collaboration.

Rain-on-snow events in mountainous catchments under climate change

Abstract. The frequency and intensity of rain-on-snow (RoS) events are expected to change in response to climate variations due to changes in precipitation, increases in air temperature, and subsequen...

Teach hydro modeling? Want to introduce modeling in an intro class?

Check out this web-app, activities, and code (in case you want to spin off your own)..

Thanks @jansei.bsky.social for working with me on this, which was inspired by his HBV-lite teaching software!

Perfect reading for the weekend: new paper by Franziska Clerc-Schwarzenbach et al. on the value of water level observations collected by the public in the CrowdWater project: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Value of water level class observations for parameter set selection in hydrological modelling

Finding suitable parameter sets for a hydrological model usually requires several years of discharge data. As these data are often unavailable, it can be challenging to use hydrological models. It ...
