Diagnostics of the Hydrothermal Desynchronization of Snowmelt and Cryogenic Sealing of Soils During the Formation of Extreme Floods in Kazakhstan
The spring floods that occurred in 2024 in western and northern Kazakhstan caused extensive damage. Our understanding of runoff formation processes under frozen-soil conditions remains limited. In this study, we apply a coupled hydrothermal model as a case study to explicitly simulate vertical heat and water transport,...
