      A model has been recently set up (since 2006) that provides the snow conditions, along with other hydrometeorological parameters, for all Norway at 1 km resolution. This model is called “Senorge” (meaning “See Norway”), ...
    • A spatial disaggregating procedure for precipitation 

      Skaugen, Thomas (Journal article, 2002)

    • A stochastic event-based approach for flood estimation in catchments with mixed rainfall/snowmelt flood regimes 

      Valeriya, Filipova; Lawrence, Deborah; Skaugen, Thomas (Journal article, 2019)
      The estimation of extreme floods is associated with high uncertainty, in part due to the limited length of streamflow records. Traditionally, flood frequency analysis or event-based model using a single design storm have ...
