Hydrological behaviour of an ice‐layered snowpack in a non‐mountainous environment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The increased frequency of mild rain‐on‐snow (R.O.S.) events in cold regions associated with climate change is projected to affect snowpack structure and hydrological behaviour. The ice layers that form in a cold snowpack when R.O.S. events occur have been shown to influence flowthrough processes and liquid water retention, with consequences for winter floods, groundwater recharge, and water resources management. This study explores interconnections between meteorological conditions, ice layer formation, and lateral flows during R.O.S. events throughout the 2018–2019 winter in meridional Quebec, Canada. Automated hydro‐meteorological measurements, such as water availability for runoff, snow water equivalent, and snowpit observations, are used to compute water and energy balances, making it possible to characterize a snowpack's internal conditions and flowthrough regimes. For compatibility assessment, water and energy balances‐based flowthrough scenarios are then compared to different hydro‐meteorological variables', such as water table or streamlet water levels. The results show an association between highly variable meteorological conditions, frequent R.O.S. events, and ice layer formation. Lateral flows were mainly observed during the early stage of the ablation period. The hydrologically significant lateral flows observed in the study are associated with winter conditions that are predicted to become more frequent in a changing climate, stressing the need for further evaluation of their potential impact at the watershed scale.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
