Winters are changing: snow effects on Arctic and alpine tundra ecosystems
Arctic Science, 2022 Snow is an important driver of ecosystem processes in cold biomes. Snow accumulation determines ground temperature, light conditions and moisture availability during winter. It also affects the growing season’s start and end, and plant access to moisture

Review of Financial Studies, 2010 Based on a sample of highly leveraged Austrian ski hotels undergoing debt restructurings, we show that reducing a debt overhang leads to a significant improvement in operating performance. Changes in leverage in the debt restructurings are instrumented with Unexpected Snow, which captures the extent to which a ski hotel experienced unusually good or ...

Snow physics as relevant to snow photochemistry [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2007 Abstract. Snow on the ground is a complex multiphase photochemical reactor that dramatically modifies the chemical composition of the overlying atmosphere. A quantitative description of the emissions of reactive gases by snow requires the knowledge of snow physical properties.

Sentinel-1 snow depth retrieval at sub-kilometer resolution over the European Alps
The Cryosphere, 2021 . Seasonal snow in mountain regions is an essential water resource. However, the spatio-temporal variability in mountain snow depth or snow water equivalent (SWE) from regional to global scales is not well understood due to the lack of high-resolution ...

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2011 Context. The study of the snow line is an important topic in several domains of astrophysics, and particularly for the evolution of proto-stellar environments and the formation of planets. Aims. The formation of the first layer of ice on carbon grains requires low temperatures compared to the temperature of evaporation (T > 100 K).

Winter melt trends portend widespread declines in snow water resources
Nature Climate Change, 2020 In many mountainous regions, winter precipitation accumulates as snow that melts in the spring and summer, which provides water to one billion people globally. Climate warming and earlier snowmelt compromise this natural water storage.

DesnowNet: Context-Aware Deep Network for Snow Removal [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 2017 Existing learning-based atmospheric particle-removal approaches such as those used for rainy and hazy images are designed with strong assumptions regarding spatial frequency, trajectory, and translucency.
