This article reviews the nature of meltwater runoff models and the variety of ways in which key functional tasks necessary in any such model have been implemented by different modellers. Modelling issues and alternative solutions are exemplified
with reference to 2 widely used but contrasting models (HBV and SRM). This review therefore attempts not just to describe meltwater models but also to show how their variety reflects wider debates in environmental modelling. The emphasis is on seasonal snowmelt

The Northern Hemisphere ice sheets decayed rapidly during deglacial phases of the ice-age cycle, producing meltwater fluxes that may have been of sufficient magnitude to perturb oceanic circulation. This paper introduces a continental ice-sheet

accumulation, snow and ice melting, and possible refreezing of meltwater at regular altitude intervals on a glacier. The model has been applied to 37 glaciers in the world but the results are given for Storglaciären, northern Sweden, as an example.
