Alpine3D is a valuable tool to investigate surface dynamics in mountains and is currently used to investigate snow cover dynamics for avalanche warning and permafrost development and vegetation changes under climate change scenarios. It could also be used to create accurate soil moisture assessments for meteorological and flood forecasting.
alpine surface processes, snow dynamics,
Fortran77, C, C++
Global outputs: catchment discharge, surface and subsurface flow
At user defined locations: full snow profiles (temperature profile, grain types, grain sizes, density, water content, liquid water content)
