Deriving Bias and Uncertainty in MERRA-2 Snowfall Precipitation Over High Mountain Asia
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019 A Bayesian approach to estimate bias and uncertainty in snowfall precipitation from MERRA-2 and other precipitation products was applied over High Mountain Asia (HMA), using a newly developed snow reanalysis method.

Surface Warming Constraint Projects Less Permafrost Thawing in High Mountain Asia
Geophysical Research LettersReliable projections of permafrost change are crucial for estimating permafrost carbon loss. However, potential model biases in surface air temperature may yield unrealistic projections of future permafrost area.

Winter and spring atmospheric rivers in High Mountain Asia: climatology, dynamics, and variability. [PDF]
Clim Dyn, 2022 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 ...

Remote sensing of the cryosphere in high mountain ASIA [PDF]
2017 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2017 High Mountain Asia (HMA), often referred to as the “third pole” of the world because its high elevation glaciers, contains the largest amount of fresh water outside the polar ice sheets. The region's hydrology is strongly controlled by variations in the timing and distribution of runoff from snow and glacier melt.

Towards understanding the pattern of glacier mass balances in High Mountain Asia using regional climatic modelling [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Glaciers in High Mountain Asia (HMA) provide an important water resource for communities downstream, and they are markedly impacted by global warming, yet there is a lack of understanding of the observed glacier mass balances and their spatial ...
