The Validation of Snow Cover Product Over High Mountain Asia

IGARSS 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2020
Many algorithms and products for snow cover have been developed. Then a unified set of “ground truth” data is important to validate snow cover products. In this study, Landsat-8/OLI data processed by linear unmixing algorithm was determined as “ground truth” to validate the moderate resolution snow products.

Disentangling the debris-cover anomaly in High Mountain Asia

2022
<p>Rocky debris covers 30% of glacier ablation areas in High Mountain Asia and generally suppresses melt. However, remote sensing observations have shown no statistical difference in glacier thinning rates between areas with and without debris cover; the ‘debris cover anomaly’.

Precipitation regime changes in High Mountain Asia driven by cleaner air

Nature, 2023
High Mountain Asia (HMA) has experienced a spatial imbalance in water resources in recent decades, partly because of a dipolar pattern of precipitation changes known as South Drying-North Wetting1. These changes can be influenced by both human activities and internal climate variability2,3.

High Mountain Vegetation of North Asia: Dryad Tundras

Сибирский экологический журнал, 2015
The main distribution patterns of dryad tundras in high-mountain regions, where they form a large cryophilic florocenotic system, have been studied. The cenoflora of dryad tundras comprises 286 species of vascular plants, among which there are several marker groups that indicate dryad tundras in general and their regional features in particular.

Decreasing trends of mean and extreme snowfall in High Mountain Asia

Science of The Total Environment
Intense warming profoundly alters precipitation phase patterns and intensity in High Mountain Asia (HMA). While snowfall climatology and precipitation extremes have been studied, there is a lack of understanding of snowfall extremes within HMA. Here, we investigate the spatial and temporal variability of non-extreme and extreme snowfall in hydrological

Accelerated warming of High Mountain Asia predicted at multiple years ahead

Science Bulletin
High-Mountain Asia (HMA) is an important source of freshwater since it holds the largest reservoir of frozen water outside the polar regions. HMA feeds ten great rivers, ultimately supporting more than 2 billion people. However, the threat of accelerated glacier melt, which is a consequence of unprecedented global warming since the early 1950s ...

The effect of irrigation on glacier evolution in High-Mountain Asia

Over the past century, global irrigation extent has expanded nearly fivefold, increasing from approximately 63Mha in the early 1900s to over 306Mha today. This growth has been particularly pronounced in Asia, which accounts for roughly 85% of current global irrigation withdrawals.
