  text: Melt from supraglacial ice cliffs is an important contributor to the mass
    loss of debris-covered glaciers. However, ice cliff contribution is difficult
    to quantify as they are highly dynamic features, and the paucity of observations
    of melt rates and their variability leads to large modelling uncertainties. We
    quantify monsoon season melt and 3D evolution of four ice cliffs over two debris-covered
    glaciers in High Mountain Asia (Langtang Glacier, Nepal, and 24K Glacier, China)
    at very high resolution using terrestrial photogrammetry applied to imagery captured
    from time-lapse cameras installed on lateral moraines. We derive weekly flow-corrected
    digital elevation models (DEMs) of the glacier surface with a maximum vertical
    bias of ±0.2 m for Langtang Glacier and ±0.05 m for 24K Glacier and use change
    detection to determine distributed melt rates at the surfaces of the ice cliffs
    throughout the study period. We compare the measured melt patterns with those
    derived from a 3D energy balance model to derive the contribution of the main
    energy fluxes. We find that ice cliff melt varies considerably throughout the
    melt season, with maximum melt rates of 5 to 8 cm d−1, and their average melt
    rates are 11–14 (Langtang) and 4.5 (24K) times higher than the surrounding debris-covered
    ice. Our results highlight the influence of redistributed supraglacial debris
    on cliff melt. At both sites, ice cliff albedo is influenced by the presence of
    thin debris at the ice cliff surface, which is largely controlled on 24K Glacier
    by liquid precipitation events that wash away this debris. Slightly thicker or
    patchy debris reduces melt by 1–3 cm d−1 at all sites. Ultimately, our observations
    show a strong spatio-temporal variability in cliff area at each site, which is
    controlled by supraglacial streams and ponds and englacial cavities that promote
    debris slope destabilisation and the lateral expansion of the cliffs. These findings
    highlight the need to better represent processes of debris redistribution in ice
    cliff models, to in turn improve estimates of ice cliff contribution to glacier
    melt and the long-term geomorphological evolution of debris-covered glacier surfaces.

  text: "Currently, about 12 %–13 % of High Mountain Asia’s glacier area is debris-covered,
    which alters its surface mass balance. However, in regional-scale modelling approaches,
    debris-covered glaciers are typically treated as clean-ice glaciers, leading to
    a bias when modelling their future evolution. Here, we present a new approach
    for modelling debris area and thickness evolution, applicable from single glaciers
    to the global scale. We derive a parameterization and implement it as a module
    into the Global Glacier Evolution Model (GloGEMflow), a combined mass-balance
    ice-flow model. The module is initialized with both glacier-specific observations
    of the debris' spatial distribution and estimates of debris thickness. These data
    sets account for the fact that debris can either enhance or reduce surface melt
    depending on thickness. Our model approach also enables representing the spatiotemporal
    evolution of debris extent and thickness. We calibrate and evaluate the module
    on a selected subset of glaciers and apply GloGEMflow using different climate
    scenarios to project the future evolution of all glaciers in High Mountain Asia
    until 2100. Explicitly accounting for debris cover has only a minor effect on
    the projected mass loss, which is in line with previous projections. Despite this
    small effect, we argue that the improved process representation is of added value
    when aiming at capturing intra-glacier scales, i.e. spatial mass-balance distribution.\r\nDepending
    on the climate scenario, the mean debris-cover fraction is expected to increase,
    while mean debris thickness is projected to show only minor changes, although
    large local thickening is expected. To isolate the influence of explicitly accounting
    for supraglacial debris cover, we re-compute glacier evolution without the debris-cover
    module. We show that glacier geometry, area, volume, and flow velocity evolve
    differently, especially at the level of individual glaciers. This highlights the
    importance of accounting for debris cover and its spatiotemporal evolution when
    projecting future glacier changes."

  text: "The Indian and East Asian summer monsoons shape the melt and accumulation
    patterns of glaciers in High Mountain Asia in complex ways due to the interaction
    of persistent cloud cover, large temperature ranges, high atmospheric water content
    and high precipitation rates. Glacier energy- and mass-balance modelling using
    in situ measurements offers insights into the ways in which surface processes
    are shaped by climatic regimes. In this study, we use a full energy- and mass-balance
    model and seven on-glacier automatic weather station datasets from different parts
    of the Central and Eastern Himalaya to investigate how monsoon conditions influence
    the glacier surface energy and mass balance. In particular, we look at how debris-covered
    and debris-free glaciers respond differently to monsoonal conditions.\r\nThe radiation
    budget primarily controls the melt of clean-ice glaciers, but turbulent fluxes
    play an important role in modulating the melt energy on debris-covered glaciers.
    The sensible heat flux decreases during core monsoon, but the latent heat flux
    cools the surface due to evaporation of liquid water. This interplay of radiative
    and turbulent fluxes causes debris-covered glacier melt rates to stay almost constant
    through the different phases of the monsoon. Ice melt under thin debris, on the
    other hand, is amplified by both the dark surface and the turbulent fluxes, which
    intensify melt during monsoon through surface heating and condensation.\r\nPre-monsoon
    snow cover can considerably delay melt onset and have a strong impact on the seasonal
    mass balance. Intermittent monsoon snow cover lowers the melt rates at high elevation.
    This work is fundamental to the understanding of the present and future Himalayan
    cryosphere and water budget, while informing and motivating further glacier- and
    catchment-scale research using process-based models."

  text: Near-surface air temperature (Ta) is highly important for modelling glacier
    ablation, though its spatio-temporal variability over melting glaciers still remains
    largely unknown. We present a new dataset of distributed Ta for three glaciers
    of different size in the south-east Tibetan Plateau during two monsoon-dominated
    summer seasons. We compare on-glacier Ta to ambient Ta extrapolated from several
    local off-glacier stations. We parameterise the along-flowline sensitivity of
    Ta on these glaciers to changes in off-glacier temperatures (referred to as “temperature
    sensitivity”) and present the results in the context of available distributed
    on-glacier datasets around the world. Temperature sensitivity decreases rapidly
    up to 2000–3000 m along the down-glacier flowline distance. Beyond this distance,
    both the Ta on the Tibetan glaciers and global glacier datasets show little additional
    cooling relative to the off-glacier temperature. In general, Ta on small glaciers
    (with flowline distances <1000 m) is highly sensitive to temperature changes outside
    the glacier boundary layer. The climatology of a given region can influence the
    general magnitude of this temperature sensitivity, though no strong relationships
    are found between along-flowline temperature sensitivity and mean summer temperatures
    or precipitation. The terminus of some glaciers is affected by other warm-air
    processes that increase temperature sensitivity (such as divergent boundary layer
    flow, warm up-valley winds or debris/valley heating effects) which are evident
    only beyond ∼70 % of the total glacier flowline distance. Our results therefore
    suggest a strong role of local effects in modulating temperature sensitivity close
    to the glacier terminus, although further work is still required to explain the
    variability of these effects for different glaciers.

  text: Information about end-of-winter spatial distribution of snow depth is important
    for seasonal forecasts of spring/summer streamflow in high-mountain regions. Nevertheless,
    such information typically relies upon extrapolation from a sparse network of
    observations at low elevations. Here, we test the potential of high-resolution
    snow depth data derived from optical stereophotogrammetry of Pléiades satellites
    for improving the representation of snow depth initial conditions (SDICs) in a
    glacio-hydrological model and assess potential improvements in the skill of snowmelt
    and streamflow simulations in a high-elevation Andean catchment. We calibrate
    model parameters controlling glacier mass balance and snow cover evolution using
    ground-based and satellite observations, and consider the relative importance
    of accurate estimates of SDICs compared to model parameters and forcings. We find
    that Pléiades SDICs improve the simulation of snow-covered area, glacier mass
    balance, and monthly streamflow compared to alternative SDICs based upon extrapolation
    of meteorological variables or statistical methods to estimate SDICs based upon
    topography. Model simulations are found to be sensitive to SDICs in the early
    spring (up to 48% variability in modeled streamflow compared to the best estimate
    model), and to temperature gradients in all months that control albedo and melt
    rates over a large elevation range (>2,400 m). As such, appropriately characterizing
    the distribution of total snow volume with elevation is important for reproducing
    total streamflow and the proportions of snowmelt. Therefore, optical stereo-photogrammetry
    offers an advantage for obtaining SDICs that aid both the timing and magnitude
    of streamflow simulations, process representation (e.g., snow cover evolution)
    and has the potential for large spatial domains.

  text: As glaciers adjust their size in response to climate variations, long-term
    changes in meltwater production can be expected, affecting the local availability
    of water resources. We investigate glacier runoff in the period 1955–2016 in the
    Maipo River basin (4843 km2, 33.0–34.3∘ S, 69.8–70.5∘ W), in the semiarid Andes
    of Chile. The basin contains more than 800 glaciers, which cover 378 km2 in total
    (inventoried in 2000). We model the mass balance and runoff contribution of 26
    glaciers with the physically oriented and fully distributed TOPKAPI (Topographic
    Kinematic Approximation and Integration)-ETH glacio-hydrological model and extrapolate
    the results to the entire basin. TOPKAPI-ETH is run at a daily time step using
    several glaciological and meteorological datasets, and its results are evaluated
    against streamflow records, remotely sensed snow cover, and geodetic mass balances
    for the periods 1955–2000 and 2000–2013. Results show that in 1955–2016 glacier
    mass balance had a general decreasing trend as a basin average but also had differences
    between the main sub-catchments. Glacier volume decreased by one-fifth (from 18.6±4.5
    to 14.9±2.9 km3). Runoff from the initially glacierized areas was 177±25 mm yr−1
    (16±7 % of the total contributions to the basin), but it shows a decreasing sequence
    of maxima, which can be linked to the interplay between a decrease in precipitation
    since the 1980s and the reduction of ice melt. Glaciers in the Maipo River basin
    will continue retreating because they are not in equilibrium with the current
    climate. In a hypothetical constant climate scenario, glacier volume would reduce
    to 81±38 % of the year 2000 volume, and glacier runoff would be 78±30 % of the
    1955–2016 average. This would considerably decrease the drought mitigation capacity
    of the basin.

  text: Obtaining detailed information about high mountain snowpacks is often limited
    by insufficient ground-based observations and uncertainty in the (re)distribution
    of solid precipitation. We utilize high-resolution optical images from Pléiades
    satellites to generate a snow depth map, at a spatial resolution of 4 m, for a
    high mountain catchment of central Chile. Results are negatively biased (median
    difference of −0.22 m) when compared against observations from a terrestrial Light
    Detection And Ranging scan, though replicate general snow depth variability well.
    Additionally, the Pléiades dataset is subject to data gaps (17% of total pixels),
    negative values for shallow snow (12%), and noise on slopes >40–50° (2%). We correct
    and filter the Pléiades snow depths using surface classification techniques of
    snow-free areas and a random forest model for data gap filling. Snow depths (with
    an estimated error of ~0.36 m) average 1.66 m and relate well to topographical
    parameters such as elevation and northness in a similar way to previous studies.
    However, estimations of snow depth based upon topography (TOPO) or physically
    based modeling (DBSM) cannot resolve localized processes (i.e., avalanching or
    wind scouring) that are detected by Pléiades, even when forced with locally calibrated
    data. Comparing these alternative model approaches to corrected Pléiades snow
    depths reveals total snow volume differences between −28% (DBSM) and +54% (TOPO)
    for the catchment and large differences across most elevation bands. Pléiades
    represents an important contribution to understanding snow accumulation at sparsely
    monitored catchments, though ideally requires a careful systematic validation
    procedure to identify catchment-scale biases and errors in the snow depth derivation.

  text: The snow cover dynamics of High Mountain Asia are usually assessed at spatial
    resolutions of 250 m or greater, but this scale is too coarse to clearly represent
    the rugged topography common to the region. Higher-resolution measurement of snow-covered
    area often results in biased sampling due to cloud cover and deep shadows. We
    therefore develop a Normalized Difference Snow Index-based workflow to delineate
    snow lines from Landsat Thematic Mapper/Enhanced Thematic Mapper+ imagery and
    apply it to the upper Langtang Valley in Nepal, processing 194 scenes spanning
    1999 to 2013. For each scene, we determine the spatial distribution of snow line
    altitudes (SLAs) with respect to aspect and across six subcatchments. Our results
    show that the mean SLA exhibits distinct seasonal behavior based on aspect and
    subcatchment position. We find that SLA dynamics respond to spatial and seasonal
    trade-offs in precipitation, temperature, and solar radiation, which act as primary
    controls. We identify two SLA spatial gradients, which we attribute to the effect
    of spatially variable precipitation. Our results also reveal that aspect-related
    SLA differences vary seasonally and are influenced by solar radiation. In terms
    of seasonal dominant controls, we demonstrate that the snow line is controlled
    by snow precipitation in winter, melt in premonsoon, a combination of both in
    postmonsoon, and temperature in monsoon, explaining to a large extent the spatial
    and seasonal variability of the SLA in the upper Langtang Valley. We conclude
    that while SLA and snow-covered area are complementary metrics, the SLA has a
    strong potential for understanding local-scale snow cover dynamics and their controlling
    mechanisms.

  text: We present a field-data rich modelling analysis to reconstruct the climatic
    forcing, glacier response, and runoff generation from a high-elevation catchment
    in central Chile over the period 2000–2015 to provide insights into the differing
    contributions of debris-covered and debris-free glaciers under current and future
    changing climatic conditions. Model simulations with the physically based glacio-hydrological
    model TOPKAPI-ETH reveal a period of neutral or slightly positive mass balance
    between 2000 and 2010, followed by a transition to increasingly large annual mass
    losses, associated with a recent mega drought. Mass losses commence earlier, and
    are more severe, for a heavily debris-covered glacier, most likely due to its
    strong dependence on snow avalanche accumulation, which has declined in recent
    years. Catchment runoff shows a marked decreasing trend over the study period,
    but with high interannual variability directly linked to winter snow accumulation,
    and high contribution from ice melt in dry periods and drought conditions. The
    study demonstrates the importance of incorporating local-scale processes such
    as snow avalanche accumulation and spatially variable debris thickness, in understanding
    the responses of different glacier types to climate change. We highlight the increased
    dependency of runoff from high Andean catchments on the diminishing resource of
    glacier ice during dry years.

  text: Snow depth patterns over glaciers are controlled by precipitation, snow redistribution
    due to wind and avalanches, and the exchange of energy with the atmosphere that
    determines snow ablation. While many studies have advanced the understanding of
    ablation processes, less is known about winter snow patterns and their variability
    over glaciers. We analyze snow depth on Haut Glacier d'Arolla, Switzerland, in
    the two winter seasons 2006–2007 and 2010–2011 to (1) understand whether snow
    depth over an alpine glacier at the end of the accumulation season exhibits a
    behavior similar to the one observed on single slopes and vegetated areas; and
    (2) investigate the snow pattern consistency over the two accumulation seasons.
    We perform this analysis on a data set of high-resolution lidar-derived snow depth
    using variograms and fractal parameters. Our first main result is that snow depth
    patterns on the glacier exhibit a multiscale behavior, with a scale break around
    20 m after which the fractal dimension increases, indicating more autocorrelated
    structure before the scale break than after. Second, this behavior is consistent
    over the two years, with fractal parameters and their spatial variability almost
    constant in the two seasons. We also show that snow depth patterns exhibit a distinct
    behavior in the glacier tongue and the upper catchment, with longer correlation
    distances on the tongue in the direction of the main winds, suggesting spatial
    distinctions that are likely induced by different processes and that should be
    taken into account when extrapolating snow depth from limited samples.

  text: Ice cliffs within a supraglacial debris cover have been identified as a source
    for high ablation relative to the surrounding debris-covered area. Due to their
    small relative size and steep orientation, ice cliffs are difficult to detect
    using nadir-looking space borne sensors. The method presented here uses surface
    slopes calculated from digital elevation model (DEM) data to map ice cliff geometry
    and produce an ice cliff probability map. Surface slope thresholds, which can
    be sensitive to geographic location and/or data quality, are selected automatically.
    The method also attempts to include area at the (often narrowing) ends of ice
    cliffs which could otherwise be neglected due to signal saturation in surface
    slope data. The method was calibrated in the eastern Alaska Range, Alaska, USA,
    against a control ice cliff dataset derived from high-resolution visible and thermal
    data. Using the same input parameter set that performed best in Alaska, the method
    was tested against ice cliffs manually mapped in the Khumbu Himal, Nepal. Our
    results suggest the method can accommodate different glaciological settings and
    different DEM data sources without a data intensive (high-resolution, multi-data
    source) recalibration.

  text: 'We investigate the energy balance and ablation regimes of glaciers in high-elevation,
    dry environments using glaciometeorological data collected on six glaciers in
    the semiarid Andes of North-Central Chile (29–34°S, 3127–5324 m). We use a point-scale
    physically based energy balance (EB) model and an enhanced Temperature-Index (ETI)
    model that calculates melt rates only as a function of air temperature and net
    shortwave radiation. At all sites, the largest energy inputs are net shortwave
    and incoming longwave radiation, which are controlled by surface albedo and elevation,
    respectively. Turbulent fluxes cancel each other out at the lower sites, but as
    elevation increases, cold, dry and wind-exposed conditions increase the magnitude
    of negative latent heat fluxes, associated with large surface sublimation rates.
    In midsummer (January), ablation rates vary from 67.9 mm w.e. d−1 at the lowest
    site (∼100% corresponding to melt), to 2.3 mm w.e. d−1 at the highest site (>85%
    corresponding to surface sublimation). At low-elevation, low-albedo, melt-dominated
    sites, the ETI model correctly reproduces melt using a large range of possible
    parameters, but both the performance and parameter transferability decrease with
    elevation for two main reasons: (i) the air temperature threshold approach for
    melt onset does not capture the diurnal variability of melt in cold and strong
    irradiated environments and (ii) energy losses decrease the correlation between
    melt and net shortwave radiation. We summarize our results by means of an elevation
    profile of ablation components that can be used as reference in future studies
    of glacier ablation in the semiarid Andes.'

  text: 'We apply the process-based, distributed TOPKAPI-ETH glacio-hydrological model
    to a glacierized catchment (19% glacierized) in the semiarid Andes of central
    Chile. The semiarid Andes provides vital freshwater resources to valleys in Chile
    and Argentina, but only few glacio-hydrological modelling studies have been conducted,
    and its dominant hydrological processes remain poorly understood. The catchment
    contains two debris-free glaciers reaching down to 3900 m asl (Bello and Yeso
    glaciers) and one debris-covered avalanche-fed glacier reaching to 3200 m asl
    (Piramide Glacier). Our main objective is to compare the mass balance and runoff
    contributions of both glacier types under current climatic conditions. We use
    a unique dataset of field measurements collected over two ablation seasons combined
    with the distributed TOPKAPI-ETH model that includes physically oriented parameterizations
    of snow and ice ablation, gravitational distribution of snow, snow albedo evolution
    and the ablation of debris-covered ice. Model outputs indicate that while the
    mass balance of Bello and Yeso glaciers is mostly explained by temperature gradients,
    the Piramide Glacier mass balance is governed by debris thickness and avalanches
    and has a clear non-linear profile with elevation as a result. Despite the thermal
    insulation effect of the debris cover, the mass balance and contribution to runoff
    from debris-free and debris-covered glaciers are similar in magnitude, mainly
    because of elevation differences. However, runoff contributions are distinct in
    time and seasonality with ice melt starting approximately four weeks earlier from
    the debris-covered glacier, what is of relevance for water resources management.
    At the catchment scale, snowmelt is the dominant contributor to runoff during
    both years. However, during the driest year of our simulations, ice melt contributes
    42 ± 8% and 67 ± 6% of the annual and summer runoff, respectively. Sensitivity
    analyses show that runoff is most sensitive to temperature and precipitation gradients,
    melt factors and debris cover thickness. '

  text: This paper presents a methodology for hydrograph separation in mountain watersheds,
    which aims at identifying flow sources among ungauged headwater sub-catchments
    through a combination of observed streamflow and data on natural tracers including
    isotope and dissolved solids. Daily summer and bi-daily spring season water samples
    obtained at the outlet of the Juncal River Basin in the Andes of Central Chile
    were analysed for all major ions as well as stable water isotopes, δ18O and δD.
    Additionally, various samples from rain, snow, surface streams and exfiltrating
    subsurface water (springs) were sampled throughout the catchment. A principal
    component analysis was performed in order to address cross-correlation in the
    tracer dataset, reduce the dimensionality of the problem and uncover patterns
    of variability. Potential sources were identified in a two-component U-space that
    explains 94% of the observed tracer variability at the catchment outlet. Hydrograph
    separation was performed through an Informative-Bayesian model. Our results indicate
    that the Juncal Norte Glacier headwater sub-catchment contributed at least 50%
    of summer flows at the Juncal River Basin outlet during the 2011–2012 water year
    (a hydrologically dry period in the Region), even though it accounts for only
    27% of the basin area. Our study confirms the value of combining solute and isotope
    information for estimating source contributions in complex hydrologic systems,
    and provides insights regarding experimental design in high-elevation semi-arid
    catchments. The findings of this study can be useful for evaluating modelling
    studies of the hydrological consequences of the rapid decrease in glacier cover
    observed in this region, by providing insights into the origin of river water
    in basins with little hydrometeorological information.

  text: This study presents volume and mass changes of seven (five partially debris-covered,
    two debris-free) glaciers in the upper Langtang catchment in Nepal. We use a digital
    elevation model (DEM) from 1974 stereo Hexagon satellite data and seven DEMs derived
    from 2006–2015 stereo or tri-stereo satellite imagery (e.g., SPOT6/7). The availability
    of multiple independent DEM differences allows the identification of a robust
    signal and narrowing down of the uncertainty about recent volume changes. The
    volume changes calculated over several multiyear periods between 2006 and 2015
    consistently indicate that glacier thinning has accelerated with respect to the
    period 1974–2006. We calculate an ensemble-mean elevation change rate of –0.45 ± 0.18 m a−1
    for 2006–2015, while for the period 1974–2006 we compute a rate of −0.24 ± 0.08 m a−1.
    However, the behavior of glaciers in the study area is heterogeneous, and the
    presence or absence of debris does not seem to be a good predictor for mass balance
    trends. Debris-covered tongues have nonlinear thinning profiles, and we show that
    recent accelerations in thinning correlate with the presence of supraglacial cliffs
    and lakes. At stagnating glacier areas near the glacier front, however, thinning
    rates decreased with time or remained constant. The April 2015 Nepal earthquake
    triggered large avalanches in the study catchment. Analysis of two post-earthquake
    DEMs revealed that the avalanche deposit volumes remaining 6 months after the
    earthquake are negligible in comparison to 2006–2015 elevation changes. However,
    the deposits compensate about 40 % the mass loss of debris-covered tongues of
    1 average year.

  text: "Debris-covered glaciers are increasingly studied because it is assumed that
    debris cover extent and thickness could increase in a warming climate, with more
    regular rockfalls from the surrounding slopes and more englacial melt-out material.
    Debris energy-balance models have been developed to account for the melt rate
    enhancement/reduction due to a thin/thick debris layer, respectively. However,
    such models require a large amount of input data that are not often available,
    especially in remote mountain areas such as the Himalaya, and can be difficult
    to extrapolate. Due to their lower data requirements, empirical models have been
    used extensively in clean glacier melt modelling. For debris-covered glaciers,
    however, they generally simplify the debris effect by using a single melt-reduction
    factor which does not account for the influence of varying debris thickness on
    melt and prescribe a constant reduction for the entire melt across a glacier.\r\n\r\nIn
    this paper, we present a new temperature-index model that accounts for debris
    thickness in the computation of melt rates at the debris-ice interface. The model
    empirical parameters are optimized at the point scale for varying debris thicknesses
    against melt rates simulated by a physically-based debris energy balance model.
    The latter is validated against ablation stake readings and surface temperature
    measurements. Each parameter is then related to a plausible set of debris thickness
    values to provide a general and transferable parameterization. We develop the
    model on Miage Glacier, Italy, and then test its transferability on Haut Glacier
    d’Arolla, Switzerland.\r\n\r\nThe performance of the new debris temperature-index
    (DETI) model in simulating the glacier melt rate at the point scale is comparable
    to the one of the physically based approach, and the definition of model parameters
    as a function of debris thickness allows the simulation of the nonlinear relationship
    of melt rate to debris thickness, summarised by the Østrem curve. Its large number
    of parameters might be a limitation, but we show that the model is transferable
    in time and space to a second glacier with little loss of performance. We thus
    suggest that the new DETI model can be included in continuous mass balance models
    of debris-covered glaciers, because of its limited data requirements. As such,
    we expect its application to lead to an improvement in simulations of the debris-covered
    glacier response to climate in comparison with models that simply recalibrate
    empirical parameters to prescribe a constant across glacier reduction in melt."

  text: Meteorological studies in high-mountain environments form the basis of our
    understanding of catchment hydrology and glacier accumulation and melt processes,
    yet high-altitude (>4000 m above sea level, asl) observatories are rare. This
    research presents meteorological data recorded between December 2012 and November
    2013 at seven stations in Nepal, ranging in elevation from 3860 to 5360 m asl.
    Seasonal and diurnal cycles in air temperature, vapour pressure, incoming short-wave
    and long-wave radiation, atmospheric transmissivity, wind speed, and precipitation
    are compared between sites. Solar radiation strongly affects diurnal temperature
    and vapour pressure cycles, but local topography and valley-scale circulations
    alter wind speed and precipitation cycles. The observed diurnal variability in
    vertical temperature gradients in all seasons highlights the importance of in
    situ measurements for melt modelling. The monsoon signal (progressive onset and
    sharp end) is visible in all data-sets, and the passage of the remnants of Typhoon
    Phailin in mid-October 2013 provides an interesting case study on the possible
    effects of such storms on glaciers in the region.

  text: "The hydrology of high-elevation watersheds of the Hindu Kush-Himalaya region
    (HKH) is poorly known. The correct representation of internal states and process
    dynamics in glacio-hydrological models can often not be verified due to missing
    in situ measurements. We use a new set of detailed ground data from the upper
    Langtang valley in Nepal to systematically guide a state-of-the art glacio-hydrological
    model through a parameter assigning process with the aim to understand the hydrology
    of the catchment and contribution of snow and ice processes to runoff. 14 parameters
    are directly calculated on the basis of local data, and 13 parameters are calibrated
    against 5 different datasets of in situ or remote sensing data. Spatial fields
    of debris thickness are reconstructed through a novel approach that employs data
    from an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), energy balance modeling and statistical
    techniques. The model is validated against measured catchment runoff (Nash–Sutcliffe
    efficiency 0.87) and modeled snow cover is compared to Landsat snow cover. The
    advanced representation of processes allowed assessing the role played by avalanching
    for runoff for the first time for a Himalayan catchment (5% of annual water inputs
    to the hydrological system are due to snow redistribution) and to quantify the
    hydrological significance of sub-debris ice melt (9% of annual water inputs).
    Snowmelt is the most important contributor to total runoff during the hydrological
    year 2012/2013 (representing 40% of all sources), followed by rainfall (34%) and
    ice melt (26%). A sensitivity analysis is used to assess the efficiency of the
    monitoring network and identify the timing and location of field measurements
    that constrain model uncertainty. The methodology to set up a glacio-hydrological
    model in high-elevation regions presented in this study can be regarded as a benchmark
    for modelers in the HKH seeking to evaluate their calibration approach, their
    experimental setup and thus to reduce the predictive model uncertainty.\r\n\r\n"

  text: The performance of glaciohydrological models which simulate catchment response
    to climate variability depends to a large degree on the data used to force the
    models. The forcing data become increasingly important in high-elevation, glacierized
    catchments where the interplay between extreme topography, climate, and the cryosphere
    is complex. It is challenging to generate a reliable forcing data set that captures
    this spatial heterogeneity. In this paper, we analyze the results of a 1 year
    field campaign focusing on air temperature and precipitation observations in the
    Langtang valley in the Nepalese Himalayas. We use the observed time series to
    characterize both temperature lapse rates (LRs) and precipitation gradients (PGs).
    We study their spatial and temporal variability, and we attempt to identify possible
    controlling factors. We show that very clear LRs exist in the valley and that
    there are strong seasonal differences related to the water vapor content in the
    atmosphere. Results also show that the LRs are generally shallower than the commonly
    used environmental lapse rates. The analysis of the precipitation observations
    reveals that there is great variability in precipitation over short horizontal
    distances. A uniform valley wide PG cannot be established, and several scale-dependent
    mechanisms may explain our observations. We complete our analysis by showing the
    impact of the observed LRs and PGs on the outputs of the TOPKAPI-ETH glaciohydrological
    model. We conclude that LRs and PGs have a very large impact on the water balance
    composition and that short-term monitoring campaigns have the potential to improve
    model quality considerably.

  text: We use two hydrological models of varying complexity to study the Juncal River
    Basin in the Central Andes of Chile with the aim to understand the degree of conceptualization
    and the spatial structure that are needed to model present and future streamflows.
    We use a conceptual semi-distributed model based on elevation bands [Water Evaluation
    and Planning (WEAP)], frequently used for water management, and a physically oriented,
    fully distributed model [Topographic Kinematic Wave Approximation and Integration
    ETH Zurich (TOPKAPI-ETH)] developed for research purposes mainly. We evaluate
    the ability of the two models to reproduce the key hydrological processes in the
    basin with emphasis on snow accumulation and melt, streamflow and the relationships
    between internal processes. Both models are capable of reproducing observed runoff
    and the evolution of Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer snow cover
    adequately. In spite of WEAP's simple and conceptual approach for modelling snowmelt
    and its lack of glacier representation and snow gravitational redistribution as
    well as a proper routing algorithm, this model can reproduce historical data with
    a similar goodness of fit as the more complex TOPKAPI-ETH. We show that the performance
    of both models can be improved by using measured precipitation gradients of higher
    temporal resolution. In contrast to the good performance of the conceptual model
    for the present climate, however, we demonstrate that the simplifications in WEAP
    lead to error compensation, which results in different predictions in simulated
    melt and runoff for a potentially warmer future climate. TOPKAPI-ETH, using a
    more physical representation of processes, depends less on calibration and thus
    is less subject to a compensation of errors through different model components.
    Our results show that data obtained locally in ad hoc short-term field campaigns
    are needed to complement data extrapolated from long-term records for simulating
    changes in the water cycle of high-elevation catchments but that these data can
    only be efficiently used by a model applying a spatially distributed physical
    representation of hydrological processes.
