Abstract
The MESH model was used here to simulate the hydrology of Kluane Lake during three periods: the 20th Century using EU WATCH forcing data, recent time (2000-15) using WRF forcing data bias corrected with GEM-CaPA, through the future using PGW RCP8.5 scenario by the end of the 21st Century. Model outputs include daily lake inflow, outflow, and water level.
Purpose
Kluane Lake (Lhù'ààn Mǟn) Study: This modeling study was motivated and required by Yukon Government following the retreat of the Kaskawulsh Glacier in 2016, causing the Slims River (Ä'äy Chù) Piracy and depriving Kluane Lake from its most important summer inflow and as a consequence left summer lake levels 1.6 metres lower than their normal. The MESH model was used here to simulate the hydrology of Kluane Lake during three periods: the 20th Century using EU WATCH forcing data, recent time (2000-15) using WRF forcing data bias corrected with GEM-CaPA, through the future using PGW RCP8.5 scenario by the end of the 21st Century.
