  bibo_abstract:
  - We investigate the sensitivity of a distributed enhanced temperature-index (ETI)
    melt model, in order to understand which parameters have the largest influence
    on model outputs and thus need to be accurately known. We use melt and meteorological
    data from two Alpine glaciers and one glacier in the Andes of Chile. Sensitivity
    analysis is conducted in a systematic way in terms of parameters and the different
    conditions (day, night, clear-sky, overcast), melt seasons and glaciers examined.
    The sensitivity of total melt to changes in individual parameters is calculated
    using a local method around the optimal value of the parameters. We verify that
    the parameters are optimal at the distributed scale and assess the model uncertainty
    induced by uncertainty in the parameters using a Monte Carlo technique. Model
    sensitivity to parameters is consistent across melt seasons, glaciers, different
    conditions and the daily statistics examined. The parameters to which the model
    is most sensitive are the shortwave-radiation factor, the temperature lapse rate
    for extrapolation of air temperature, the albedo parameters, the temperature threshold
    and the cloud transmittance factor parameters. A parameter uncertainty of 5% results
    in a model uncertainty of 5.6% of mean melt on Haut Glacier d’Arolla, Switzerland.@eng
