| Abstract | A procedure is described for bridging gaps in daily precipitation and air temperature data obtained from high mountain stations in Nepal based on continuous measurement records from a network of stations of which most are situated in lowland positions. A conceptual precipitation-runoff model is calibrated and verified using data from a Himalayan head watershed. A combination of the bridging gap procedure and the model enables an assessment to be made of temporal and spatial distribution of runoff from highland areas in Nepalese Himalaya. |
