Application of the Snowmelt Runoff Model for snow accumulation and snowmelt modelling in experimental catchments Bystřice and Zlatý Brook in the Krušné Mountains

Title: Application of the Snowmelt Runoff Model for snow accumulation and snowmelt modelling in experimental catchments Bystřice and Zlatý Brook in the Krušné Mountains Modelling of hydrological processes is a dynamically developing part of hydrology. The Snowmelt Runoff Model (SRM) was applied for modelling the runoff in two experimental catchments Bystřice and Zlatý Brook. The aim of this thesis is to set up and calibrate SRM model and to evaluate methods and procedures used for runoff simulations. The SRM model was used for modelling snow accumulation and snowmelt in two selected catchments in the Krušné Mountains. The snow depths and snow water equivalents are measured since 2009 at selected locations situated in catchments. Calibration and validation of the model was based on continual time series of precipitation, air temperature and discharge measured 2009. Hydrological years 2009 and 2010 were used for model calibration and hydrological years 2011 and 2012 were used for model validation. Sensitivity analysis, which quantifies the effect of individual model parameters on the simulating proces, was carried out based on results. Recession coefficient and runoff coefficient belong to the most sensitive parameters with highest impact on runoff simulations. Model calibration was successful, which..
