Abstract: Abstract:The Alps are often referred to as the 'water tower of Europe'. In Switzerland, many branches of the economy, especially the hydropower industry, are closely linked to and dependent on the availability of water. Assessing the impact of climate change on streamflow runoff is, thus, of great interest. Major efforts have already been made in this respect, but the analyses often focus on individual catchments and are difficult to intercompare. In this article, we analysed nine high-alpine catchments spread… Show more

“…Several authors have addressed the future hydrology of the catchment. Farinotti et al (2012) calculated glacier retreat and runoff over the 21st century using ten RCMs of the ENSEMBLES project (van der Linden and Mitchell, 2009). Uhlmann et al (2013a) and Uhlmann et al (2013b) calibrated a hydrological model to discharge data and performed a model run until 2100 using results of one RCM from the PRUDENCE project (Christensen and Christensen, 2007).…”

“…This glacio-hydrological model is designed to calculate past and future runoff from glacierized drainage basins and includes components for snow accumulation distribution, snow and ice melt, 3D glacier geometry change, evapotranspiration, and runoff routing. A detailed description of the model components is given in Huss et al (2008); Huss et al, 2010b andFarinotti et al, 2012. Hereafter, the most important model parameterizations are briefly described and further developments of the original model are highlighted.…”

“…Similarly, other authors (see [27] e.g.) used ensemble GCMs and RCMs and a distributed temperature-index approach to project runoff evolution in nine high alpine Swiss catchments.…”
