−	The seasonal or fresh snow in glacier areas ~~are~~ processed using the J2KProcessSnow as described in the Snow Module in the previous section. When snow storage is zero in the glacier HRU, the glacier ice melt process begins using the enhanced degree day factor. The energy for glacier ice melt is represented by the degree-day factor which is the general function of temperature and radiation (''meltFactorIce'' and ''alphaIce''). The melt rate is further adapted to slope and aspect of the specific HRU. The model also segregates the debris covered and non-debris covered glacier HRU by using the slope of HRUs. If the slope is higher than 30 degree, the glacier HRU is considered as non-debris covered glaciers. In the debris covered glacier HRU, the ice melt is further controlled by the calibration parameter ''debrisFactor''. The outcome from the glacier area is snowmelt (from fresh snow), glacier ice melt and rain runoff (rain-on-glaciers). All these three melt runoff are routed through the glacier areas using three different routing for snow, ice and rain (''kSnow, KIce'' and ''kRain''). At the end, the glacier melt, which is the product of three different runoff (snowmelt, icemelt and rain runoff), are supplied to nearby reach as overland flow (RD1).	+	The seasonal or fresh snow in glacier areas is processed using the J2KProcessSnow as described in the Snow Module in the previous section.

	If the melt temperature exceeds the temperature limit value ( ''baseTemp''), the snowmelt process begins. The ''snowColdContent'' parameter takes into account the cold content of the snow pack.

Negative air temperatures are accumulated and decreased only by positive temperatures and to realize the snowmelt process.

Negative air temperatures are accumulated and decreased only by positive temperatures and to realize the snowmelt process.

−	The melt energy required for the calculation of potential snow melt is supplied in the form of sensible heat by air temperature (''t_factor''), energy input from precipitation as rain (''r_factor'') and input due to soil heat flow (''g_factor''). This potential melt rate is further modified according to slope and aspect of the HRU. The snow pack is able to store is liquid water (as supplied in the form of potential snow melt) in its pores up to a certain density limit (''CritDens''). This storage capacity is lost almost completely and irreversibly when reaching a certain critical density of the snowpack (i.e. amount of free water in relation to the total snow-water equivalent between 40% and 45%) according to (Bertle 1966; Herrmann 1976). The resulting snow snowmelt is supplied to the soil module.	+	The melt energy required for the calculation of potential snow melt is supplied in the form of sensible heat by air temperature (''t_factor''), energy input from precipitation as rain (''r_factor'') and input due to soil heat flow (''g_factor'').

	Interception is a process during which the precipitation is stored in leaves, and other open surfaces of vegetation. This process is identified as important components of a hydrological cycle that can affect the water balance components. Canopy and residue interception are considered losses to the system, as any rainfall intercepted by either of these components will subsequently be reduced by the evapotranspiration process. The interception module uses a simple storage approach according to Dickinson (1984), which calculates a maximum interception storage capacity based on the Leaf Area Index (LAI) of the particular type of land cover. The model gets the LAI information of different seasons from the land-cover parameter file. When the maximum storage is reached, the surplus is passed as throughfall to the soil module.

−	To set up the J2000 hydrological model for a new catchment requires two important steps. First, prepare the model parameter files and input data as explained in the [http://~~ilms~~.uni-jena.de/ilmswiki/index.php/Tutorials_Data_Himalaya#Dataset_preparation previous sections]. Second, set up a new model xml file which controls the input and output variables based on the input data. The model xml file could be different in different model applications, as driven by input data and different modules used to calculate hydrological processes. (for example: the data requirement for estimating potential evapotranspiration using the Hargreave-Salami method is different than the Penmann-Monteith approach, and therefore, the model xml set up is also different.	+	To set up the J2000 hydrological model for a new catchment requires two important steps.

	It is recommended to use the existing model xml files as a basis to set up a new model which has been provided in the earlier sections. If the catchment has glaciers, users can use the model xml of the Dudh Kosi river basin. Other than glaciers, users can use the model xml file of the Gelberg catchment which is provided while downloading JAMS software as a test dataset. These model xml files can be further changed based on the data requirements and preferences of the users.
