Abstract
Winter soiltemperature simulations with soil and water assessment tool SWAT are generally inaccurate in snowdominated areas of the word because the existing empiricallybased soiltemperature module in SWAT does not account for snowinsulation effects This problem in turn leads to all subsequent projections including water flow and nutrient loading biased To address this issue a physicallybased soiltemperature module was developed and incorporated into SWAT as an alternative to the empirical formulation which was found generate better overall estimates of winter soil temperature in a previous study In the current study we continue to examine the modified version of SWAT performance on watershed modeling by making pairwise comparisons between the outputs from the original and modified versions of SWAT against related field measurements in a testing watershed Results show that the physicallybased soiltemperature formulation helps to dramatically improve SWAT estimations of base flow discharge and NO3N loading for the watershed as a result of improvement in modeled winter soil temperatures Compared with the original version of SWAT the new version of SWAT predicted overall lower surface runoff and soil moisture content as well as higher percolation and lateral flow in winter resulting in clear differences in modeled flow paths and fate of chemical pollutants Adding a physicallybased treatment of soil temperature in SWAT is an important generalization that has potential of making the model more relevant to snowdominated areas of the worldThe funding support for this project was provided by Agriculture and AgriFood Canada AAFC through project 1145 entitled “Integrating selected BMPs to maximize environmental and economic benefits at the field and watershed scales for sustainable potato production in New Brunswick” and Natural Science and Engineering Research Council NSERC through Discovery Grants to CPAB and FRM Authors are thankful to S Lavoie J Monteith and L Stevens for their technical support in data collection and sample analyses
