Short summary
Snowmelt runoff is a critical freshwater resource. This study assesses how well 15 large-scale models and runoff products simulate its volume, peak, and timing across 1455 snow-dominated basins, with special attention to model performance in increasingly complex basin environments. Our results reveal common biases and identify model types with relative strengths, providing guidance for water-resource planning and sustainable water management under global warming.
