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-

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 ...

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 ...

Warming-driven erosion and sediment transport in cold regions [PDF]
, 2022 We synthesized a global inventory of cryosphere degradation-driven increases in erosion and sediment yield, e.g., suspended load, bedload, particulate organic carbon, and riverbank/slope erosion. This inventory includes 76 locations from the high Arctic,

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 ...

Heterogeneous Influence of Glacier Morphology on the Mass Balance Variability in High Mountain Asia [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2019 We investigate the control of the morphological variables on the 2000–2016 glacier‐wide mass balances of 6,470 individual glaciers of High Mountain Asia. We separate the data set into 12 regions assumed to be climatically homogeneous. We find that the slope of the glacier tongue, mean glacier elevation, percentage of supraglacial debris cover, and ...

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.

Annual 30 m dataset for glacial lakes in High Mountain Asia from 2008 to 2017
, 2021 . Climate change is intensifying glacier melting and lake development in High Mountain Asia (HMA), which could increase glacial lake outburst flood hazards and impact water resource and hydroelectric power management.
