How come there is a big, 2-part high in discharge and then a decline again to lower discharge levels? A temperatur drop? Snow/ice from the winter completely melted off?
I was to optimistic, the last weeks were wet and cold, at least in 2000-3000m a.s.l. So the discharge from the melting ice is dropping. Also the remaining snow is melted, this happens usually in the months between May to June, even if in this year April-May was relativetly cold and wet, so the peak happened to be later ...
Geologist, dedicated to the study on rockglaciers and quaternary geology of the south tyrolean central Alps, but also working hard to understand the recent and future hydrology in mountain areas.
