摘要

In order to investigate snowpack sensitivity to temperature increases and end-member atmospheric moisture conditions, we applied a well-constrained energy- and mass-balance snow model across the full elevation range of seasonal snowpack using forcing data from recent wet and dry years. Humidity scenarios examined were constant relative humidity (high) and constant vapor pressure between storms (low). With minimum calibration, model results captured the observed magnitude and timing of snowmelt. April 1 snow water equivalent (SWE) losses of 38%, 73%, and 90% with temperature increases of 2, 4, and 6 degrees C in a dry year centered on areas of greatest SWE accumulation. Each 2 degrees C increment of warming also resulted in seasonal snowline moving upslope by 300m. The zone of maximum melt was compressed upward 100-500m with 6 degrees C warming, with the range reflecting differences in basin hypsometry. Melt contribution by elevations below 2,000m disappeared with 4 degrees C warming. The constant-relative-humidity scenario resulted in 0-100mm less snowpack in late spring vs. the constant-vapor-pressure scenario in a wet year, a difference driven by increased thermal radiation (+1.2W/m(2)) and turbulent energy fluxes (+1.2W/m(2)) to the snowpack for the constant-relative-humidity case. Loss of snowpack storage and potential increases in forest evapotranspiration due to warming will result in a substantial shift in forest water balance and present major challenges to land management in this mountainous region.
