Simulation of Snow and Glacier Runoff in Central Asia Alpine Watersheds

9711491 Aizen，Vladimir B.加州大学圣巴巴拉分校标题：中亚高山流域雪和冰川径流的模拟。本研究的目的是对中亚天山流域冰雪融化径流的物理区域模拟进行改进，并分析该区域的长期水量平衡动态。这涉及在该区域开发重要的水文数据集，以校准并随后验证所开发的模型。在此模型开发的基础上，还将分析该地区河流径流的长期变化。该项目的成功完成将有助于分析山区积雪/冰川补给的河流流域的水平衡动态。

ABSTRACT ATM -9711491 Aizen, Vladimir B. University of California, Santa Barbara TITLE: Simulation of Snow and Glacier Runoff in Central Asia Alpine Watersheds. The objective of this research is to carry out improvements in physical regional modeling of snow/glacier melt runoff in the Central Asian river basins of Tien Shan and to analyze the long term water balance dynamics in this region. This involves important hydrological data set development over the region to calibrate and then to validate the model developed. Based on such a model development long term changes in river runoff over this region will also be analyzed. Successful completion of this project will help analyze water balance dynamics over mountainous snow/glacier fed river basins.
