Nuovo appuntamento in programma domani per la serie “Environmental Metetorology and Climate Physics Seminar” , promossa dall’Università di Trento. Giovedì 16 Ottobre alle ore 14:30 Matteo Dall’Amico (Waterjade), terrà un seminario dal titolo: “High resolution & large scale snow monitoring: new approaches and applications”. Dove: Lecture Room 1P – DICAM – University of Trento, Via Mesiano 77, Trento Per partecipare all’evento online: https://unitn.zoom.us/j/84031853563 (Meeting ID: 840 3185 3563, Passcode: 660333) AbstractUnderstanding snow dynamics is critical in mountain-fed basins, wheresnowmelt plays a key role in sustaining streamflow and water supply. Wepresent j-snow, a hybrid modeling approach developed by Waterjade,designed to reconstruct long-term daily Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) athigh spatial resolution by integrating physical modeling, satellite dataassimilation, and in-situ measurements.Our recent application over the Po River District (1991–2021)demonstrates how j-snow enables the production of a high-quality SWEdataset, validated against ground stations and satellite snow covermaps. This dataset not only offers insights into historical snow trendsbut also provides a robust foundation for forecasting inflows,supporting flood risk assessment, and informing water resourcemanagement under climate change scenarios.In this seminar, we will overview the j-snow architecture, present keyvalidation results, and discuss how the methodology can be embedded inoperational systems.
