No Consistent Evidence for Advancing or Delaying Trends in Spring Phenology on the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

, 2017
Vegetation phenology is a sensitive indicator of climate change and has significant effects on the exchange of carbon, water, and energy between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere.

Improvements in the land surface configuration to better simulate seasonal snow cover in the European Alps with the CNRM-AROME (cycle 46) convection-permitting regional climate model [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development
Snow cover modeling remains a major challenge in climate and numerical weather prediction (NWP) models even in recent versions of high-resolution coupled surface–atmosphere (i.e., at kilometer scale) regional models.

HIGH-RESOLUTION SATELLITE ESTIMATION OF SNOW COVER FOR FLOOD ANALYSIS IN EAST KAZAKHSTAN REGION

Scientific Journal of Astana IT University
The increasing frequency of extreme weather events linked to climate change has made flood forecasting an important issue, particularly in mountainous regions where snowmelt is a major driver of seasonal flooding.

Impacts of model calibration on high-latitude land-surface processes: PILPS 2(e) calibration/validation experiments [PDF]

, 2003
In the PILPS 2(e) experiment, the Snow Atmosphere Soil Transfer (SAST) land-surface scheme developed from the Biosphere-Atmosphere Transfer Scheme (BATS) showed difficulty in accurately simulating the patterns and quantities of runoff resulting from ...

Morphological indexes to describe snow-cover patterns in a high-alpine area

Annals of Glaciology
The spatiotemporal distribution of snow affects hydrological and climatological processes at different scales. Accordingly, quantifying geometric features of snow-cover patterns is important, providing a valuable complement for snow water equivalent (SWE)

Quantifying Snow Cover Distribution in Semiarid Regions Combining Satellite and Terrestrial Imagery

Remote Sensing, 2017
Mediterranean mountainous regions constitute a climate change hotspot where snow plays a crucial role in water resources. The characteristic snow-patched distribution over these areas makes spatial resolution the limiting factor for its correct ...
