Abstract:Seasonal forecasting of spring floods in snow-covered basins is
challenging due to the ambiguity in the driving processes, uncertain
estimations of antecedent catchment conditions and the choice of
predictor variables. In this study we attempt to improve the prediction
of spring flow peaks in southern Quebec, Canada, by studying the
preconditioning mechanisms of runoff generation and their impact on
inter-annual variations in the timing and magnitude of spring peak flow.
