  text: The snow and glaciers of the Peruvian Andes provide vital water supplies in
    a region facing water scarcity and substantial glacier change. However, there
    remains a lack of understanding of snow processes and quantification of the contribution
    of melt to runoff. Here we apply a distributed glacio-hydrological model over
    the Rio Santa basin to disentangle the role of the cryosphere in the Andean water
    cycle. Only at the highest elevations (>5000 m a.s.l.) is the snow cover continuous;
    at lower elevations, the snowpack is thin and ephemeral, with rapid cycles of
    snowfall and melt. Due to the large catchment area affected by ephemeral snow,
    its contribution to catchment inputs is substantial (23% and 38% in the wet and
    dry season, respectively). Ice melt is crucial in the mid-dry season (up to 44%
    of inputs). Our results improve estimates of water fluxes and call for further
    process-based modelling across the Andes.

  text: Rock debris partially covers glaciers worldwide, with varying extents and
    distributions, and controls sub‐debris melt rates by modifying energy transfer
    from the atmosphere to the ice. Two key physical properties controlling this energy
    exchange are thermal conductivity (k) and aerodynamic roughness length (z0). Accurate
    representation of these properties in energy‐balance models is critical for understanding
    climate‐glacier interactions and predicting the behavior of debris‐covered glaciers.
    However, k and z0 have been derived at very few sites from limited local measurements,
    using different approaches, and most model applications rely on values reported
    from these few sites and studies. We derive k and z0 using established and modified
    approaches from data at three locations on Pirámide Glacier in the central Chilean
    Andes. By comparing methods and evaluating melt simulated with an energy‐balance
    model, we reveal substantial differences between approaches. These lead to discrepancies
    between ice melt from energy‐balance simulations and observed data, and highlight
    the impact of method choice on calculated ice melt. Optimizing k against measured
    melt appears a viable approach to constrain melt simulations. Determining z0 seems
    less critical, as it has a smaller impact on total melt. Profile aerodynamic method
    measurements for estimating z0, despite higher costs, are independent of ice melt
    calculations. The large, unexpected differences between methods indicate a substantial
    knowledge gap. The fact that field‐derived k and z0 fail to work well in energy‐balance
    models, suggests that model values represent bulk properties distinct from theoretical
    field measurements. Addressing this gap is essential for improving glacier melt
    predictions.

  text: High elevation headwater catchments are complex hydrological systems that
    seasonally buffer water and release it in the form of snow and ice melt, modulating
    downstream runoff regimes and water availability. In High Mountain Asia (HMA),
    where a wide range of climates from semi-arid to monsoonal exist, the importance
    of the cryospheric contributions to the water budget varies with the amount and
    seasonal distribution of precipitation. Losses due to evapotranspiration and sublimation
    are to date largely unquantified components of the water budget in such catchments,
    although they can be comparable in magnitude to glacier melt contributions to
    streamflow. &amp;#xD;Here, we simulate the hydrology of three high elevation headwater
    catchments in distinct climates in HMA over 10 years using an ecohydrological
    model geared towards high-mountain areas including snow and glaciers, forced with
    reanalysis data. &amp;#xD;Our results show that evapotranspiration and sublimation
    together are most important at the semi-arid site, Kyzylsu, on the northernmost
    slopes of the Pamir mountain range. Here, the evaporative loss amounts to 28%
    of the water throughput, which we define as the total water added to, or removed
    from the water balance within a year. In comparison, evaporative losses are 19%
    at the Central Himalayan site Langtang and 13% at the wettest site, 24K, on the
    Southeastern Tibetan Plateau. At the three sites, respectively, sublimation removes
    15%, 13% and 6% of snowfall, while evapotranspiration removes the equivalent of
    76%, 28% and 19% of rainfall. In absolute terms, and across a comparable elevation
    range, the highest ET flux is 413 mm yr-1 at 24K, while the highest sublimation
    flux is 91 mm yr-1 at Kyzylsu. During warm and dry years, glacier melt was found
    to only partially compensate for the annual supply deficit.

  text: Mountains are important suppliers of freshwater to downstream areas, affecting
    large populations in particular in High Mountain Asia (HMA). Yet, the propagation
    of water from HMA headwaters to downstream areas is not fully understood, as interactions
    in the mountain water cycle between the cryo-, hydro- and biosphere remain elusive.
    We review the definition of blue and green water fluxes as liquid water that contributes
    to runoff at the outlet of the selected domain (blue) and water lost to the atmosphere
    through vapor fluxes, that is evaporation from water, ground, and interception
    plus transpiration (green) and propose to add the term white water to account
    for the (often neglected) evaporation and sublimation from snow and ice. We provide
    an assessment of models that can simulate the cryo-hydro-biosphere continuum and
    the interactions between spheres in high mountain catchments, going beyond disciplinary
    separations. Land surface models are uniquely able to account for such complexity,
    since they solve the coupled fluxes of water, energy, and carbon between the land
    surface and atmosphere. Due to the mechanistic nature of such models, specific
    variables can be compared systematically to independent remote sensing observations
    – providing vital insights into model accuracy and enabling the understanding
    of the complex watersheds of HMA. We discuss recent developments in spaceborne
    earth observation products that have the potential to support catchment modeling
    in high mountain regions. We then present a pilot study application of the mechanistic
    land surface model Tethys & Chloris to a glacierized watershed in the Nepalese
    Himalayas and discuss the use of high-resolution earth observation data to constrain
    the meteorological forcing uncertainty and validate model results. We use these
    insights to highlight the remaining challenges and future opportunities that remote
    sensing data presents for land surface modeling in HMA.

  text: The mountain cryosphere and groundwater play pivotal roles in shaping the
    hydrological cycle, yet their connectivity remains incompletely understood. Current
    knowledge on meltwater recharge and consequent groundwater discharge processes
    is better developed for snow–groundwater connectivity than for glacier–groundwater
    connectivity. Estimates of meltwater recharge vary considerably, which is probably
    a function of not only inherent catchment characteristics but also of the different
    spatio-temporal scales involved and the uncertainties in the methods used. This
    hinders a comprehensive understanding of the mountain water cycle. As glaciers
    retreat, permafrost thaws and snowpack diminishes, the relative importance of
    mountain groundwater is expected to increase. However, shifting and declining
    recharge from the cryosphere may decrease absolute groundwater amounts and fluxes
    with as-yet unknown effects on catchment-scale hydrological processes. We therefore
    stress the need to better quantify mountain cryosphere–groundwater connectivity
    to predict climate change impacts on mountain water supply and to support sustainable
    water resource management of downstream socio-ecological systems.

  text: High Mountain Asia (HMA) is among the most vulnerable water towers globally
    and yet future projections of water availability in and from its high-mountain
    catchments remain uncertain, as their hydrologic response to ongoing environmental
    changes is complex. Mechanistic modeling approaches incorporating cryospheric,
    hydrological, and vegetation processes in high spatial, temporal, and physical
    detail have never been applied for high-elevation catchments of HMA. We use a
    land surface model at high spatial and temporal resolution (100 m and hourly)
    to simulate the coupled dynamics of energy, water, and vegetation for the 350
    km2 Langtang catchment (Nepal). We compare our model outputs for one hydrological
    year against a large set of observations to gain insight into the partitioning
    of the water balance at the subseasonal scale and across elevation bands. During
    the simulated hydrological year, we find that evapotranspiration is a key component
    of the total water balance, as it causes about the equivalent of 20% of all the
    available precipitation or 154% of the water production from glacier melt in the
    basin to return directly to the atmosphere. The depletion of the cryospheric water
    budget is dominated by snow melt, but at high elevations is primarily dictated
    by snow and ice sublimation. Snow sublimation is the dominant vapor flux (49%)
    at the catchment scale, accounting for the equivalent of 11% of snowfall, 17%
    of snowmelt, and 75% of ice melt, respectively. We conclude that simulations should
    consider sublimation and other evaporative fluxes explicitly, as otherwise water
    balance estimates can be ill-quantified.
