FSM2trans snowpack simulations with HICAR input

A dynamical downscaling model (HICAR) and a semi-statistical downscaling approach (COSD) are used to downscale COSMO data to resolutions of 250 m, 100 m and 50 m. Simulations are run with the operational snow cover model and a model extension including wind- and gravity-induced snow redistribution (FSM2trans). # Input Data This paragraph describes the input data used to run simulations with FSM2trans ### HICAR The HICAR input data is created by the High-resolution Intermediate Complexity Atmospheric Research model.

The input data is available for different resolutions (250m, 100m and 50m) for a domain covering complex terrain in the Swiss Alps (Dischma) ### COSD The COSD data was statistically downscaled within the OSHD framework to different resolutions (250m, 100m, 50m) for a domain covering complex terrain in the Swiss Alps (Dischma) ### Simulation files For the Simulations, a landuse file and a namelist file with the parametrizations need to be supplied to the model # simulation output This simulation output that is used for the analysis of the study is provided.
