Figure on the left displays differences inrunoff for warm- and cold-season floodevents on the Root river, MN where frozendepth can be as much as 2m. The soil moisture only can not explain significantdifferences in the amount of runoff generated by precipitation events of similar size.
Precipitation-Runoff relationship during warm andCold seasons. Soil moisture is at the points.
Figure on the right displays differencesin soil and air temperature relationshipduring warm and cold periods. Afterstrong correlation during warm seasonthere was no correlation at all whensoil freezing and snow cover was occurred.

Frozen Ground Physics/Specific
• Specific Features of Soil Freezing-Thawing Processes are– Soil profile is Divided into two or more Parts
Separated by a Phase Change Interface– Thermal-Hydraulic Properties of the Frozen and
Unfrozen Sections are Different, and they are not Strong Functions of Temperature
– Heat Source/Sink Effects Significantly on the Energy-Water Balance
– Freezing of Infiltrated Melt/Rain Water Reduces Significantly Losses, and it can Lead to Practically Impermeable Soil Layers
![Page 7: Frozen Ground Processes](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050809/56815b7d550346895dc97968/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Frozen Ground Physics/Specific
Melt water losses, P, as a function of soil saturation index,W, and freezing depth, L, at the beginning of snowmelt.Snow water equivalent is assumed to be 120 mm.

Frozen Ground Physics/Specific
Change of the infiltration rate, I, and ice content, Wf,during snowmelt period.

Frozen Ground Parameterization
• Parameterization has two Parts– Calculation of Heat-Water Fluxes and Frost Index– Modification of the Water Balance Using Frost Index
• Requirements– Simple Enough Procedure to run with Limited Noisy
Data– Procedure need to be Compatible with the
Sacramento Model Complexity– Limited Number of ‘Ill-defined’ Parameters

Calculation of Heat-Water FluxesAssumptions• N-layer soil column• The layer-Integrated diffusion
equation• Soil moisture & heat fluxes are
simulated separately at each time step
• Surface temperature is equal to air temperature
• Lower boundary is set at the climate annual air temperature
• Unfrozen water content is estimated as a function of soil temperature, saturation rate, and ice content
