Isotope-aided assessment and forecasting of hydroclimatic extremes in Scandinavia with stakeholder co-design

Abstract -

Extreme snowpacks are closely linked to extreme hydro-meteorological events. Large snow cover, for example, can be related to for example flashfloods during rain-on-snow events, while on the opposite low snowcover can lead to droughts. Both extremes have major socio-economic impacts.

There is a lack of more solid evidence on the causes and impacts of extreme seasonal snow cover on a Scandinavian scale, and beyond.

Uncertainties arise from the water amount and variability of the snowpack, and from the lack of suitable calibration data for hydrological models, in particular for hydrological extremes. [...]
