Physically based snow models provide valuable information on snow cover evolution and are therefore key to provide water availability projections. Yet, uncertainties related to snow modelling remain large as a result of differences in the representation of snow physics and meteor

In the semiarid Andes of Chile, farmers and industry in the cordillera lowlands depend on water from snowmelt, as annual rainfall is insufficient to meet their needs. Despite the importance of snow cover for water resources in this region, understanding of snow depth distribution

Sensitivity of snow models in the semi-arid Andes of Chile
A comparison between SNOWPACK and SnowModel
The region of Coquimbo, Chile, is located adjacent to the dry Andes. Water is scarce, and with very little precipitation during spring and summer, water supply in these seasons depends mostly on melt water from snow in the Andes mountains.
