Overview

Simulations predict increased precipitation and snowmelt in the Gallatin River watershed, suggesting impacts on water quality.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate how rising temperatures affect rain-on-snow events in the upper Gallatin River watershed.
  • Used high-resolution SnowModel simulations for the upper Gallatin River watershed
  • Conducted simulations for 2001–2013 under historical and pseudo-global-warming scenarios
  • Analyzed changes in precipitation, snow accumulation, and melt events across elevations
  • Projected increased rainfall and snowmelt due to warmer temperatures
  • Found that rain-on-snow events increased above 2500 meters
  • Noted significant impacts on water quality and streamflow forecasts across the region
