The generalized finite difference method is a meshless method for solving partial differential equations that allows arbitrary discretizations of points. Typically, the discretizations have the same density of points in the domain. We propose a technique to get adapted discretizations for the solution of partial differential equations. This strategy allows using a smaller number of points and a lower computational cost to achieve the same accuracy that would be obtained with a regular discretization.

This paper describes a deterministic, distributed snow-melt model which has been developed for the Systeme Hydrologique Européen (SHE), The model is based on partial differential equations describing the flow of mass and energy through the snow. These equations are solved by an implicit, iterative finite-difference method. The behaviour of the model is investigated using data from a sub-Arctic site in Scotland.
