Fig. 3: Seasonal contribution of melt to catchment inputs in the upper Rio Santa catchment.
From: Thin and ephemeral snow shapes melt and runoff dynamics in the Peruvian Andes
a Weekly averaged rain (blue bars), snow (cerise bars), and ice melt inputs (orange bars) for the upper Rio Santa and within the six gauged catchments. The secondary y-axis values show the fractional contributions of snow (pink dashes) and ice melt (orange line) of the total inputs (sum of liquid rain, snow, and ice melt). b As for (a), but seasonally averaged and with dots to represent the ice melt proportion of inputs, and diamonds to represent the snowmelt proportion of inputs. Seasonal values are calculated based on the mean of each dry/wet season over all years. The catchment glacier cover is shown in brackets in the title headings. The letters on each panel correspond to the catchment labels in Fig. 4. All values are based on model outputs averaged over the 2008-2018 analysis period.
