Unraveling the complexities of rain-on-snow events in High Mountain Asia
npj Climate and Atmospheric ScienceRain-on-snow (ROS) events, defined as rainfall on a snow-covered landscape, pose a significant flood risk. While climate change is altering precipitation patterns and snow cover in High Mountain Asia (HMA), our understanding of ROS patterns and their ...

Change of snow and ice melting time in High Mountain Asia [PDF]
Chinese Science Bulletin, 2019 High Mountain Asia (HMA) is very sensitive to climate changes. In HMA, air temperature and precipitation shifts or increases are reflected in the timing of snowmelt onset. In this study, a long-term series (1979–2018) of snow melt onset time is first derived using spaceborne microwave radiometer data, following which the long-term trend of snow and ice-

Irrigation as a Potential Driver for Anomalous Glacier Behavior in High Mountain Asia. [PDF]
Geophys Res Lett, 2018 AbstractMany glaciers in the northwest of High Mountain Asia (HMA) show an almost zero or positive mass balance, despite the global trend of melting glaciers. This phenomenon is often referred to as the “Karakoram anomaly,” although strongest positive mass balances can be found in the Kunlun Shan mountain range, northeast of the Karakoram.

Winter And Spring Atmospheric Rivers In High Mountain Asia: Climatology, Dynamics, And Variability [PDF]
Climate Dynamics, 2021 Abstract Atmospheric Rivers (ARs) that reach the complex terrain of High Mountain Asia (HMA) cause significant hydrological impacts for millions of people. While ARs are often associated with precipitation extremes and can cause floods and debris flows affecting populated communities, little is known about ARs that reach as far inland as HMA ...

Hydrology of debris-covered glaciers in High Mountain Asia [PDF]
Earth-Science Reviews, 2020 The hydrological characteristics of debris-covered glaciers are known to be fundamentally different from those of clean-ice glaciers, even within the same climatological, geological, and geomorphological setting. Understanding how these characteristics influence the timing and magnitude of meltwater discharge is particularly important for regions where

Increase in occurrence of large glacier-related landslides in the high mountains of Asia [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractGlobally, a large number of glaciers are retreating due to global warming. Along with climate change, glacial melting has been identified as one of the main triggers of landslide activity in high mountain areas. Evaluations of the triggered mechanism alone do not provide comprehensive insight into the overall impact of glacier accumulation and ...
