ABSTRACT In high‐alpine catchments, diel streamflow cycles are typically controlled by snow and ice melt during days without precipitation. Potentially co‐occurring evapotranspiration (ET) controlled streamflow cycles are of opposite phase and can often not be identified in such environments. This s...
