Regional division of snow-depositional environments and metamorphism of snow cover in plain areas along the Japan Sea coast [PDF]

, 2020
The objective of this study was to determine the division of snow-depositional environments based on certain snow characteristics observed in plain areas along the Japan Sea coast.

An Optimized Variational Processing Method Based on Satellite-Station Data on Snow Cover Days on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Remote Sensing
The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau is a sensitive area to climate change, and snow cover has an important impact. Due to the high altitude and complex terrain, station observations of snow cover on the plateau are sparse but objective, while satellite data have ...

Evaluating the utility of the EUMETSAT HSAF snow recognition product over mountainous areas of eastern Turkey

, 2012
Monitoring snow parameters (e. g. snow-cover area, snow water equivalent) is challenging work. Because of its natural physical properties, snow strongly affects the evolution of weather on a daily basis and climate on a longer time scale.

Dynamic identification of snow phenology in the Northern Hemisphere [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Snow phenology characterizes the cyclical changes in snow and has become an important indicator of climate change in recent decades. Changes in snow phenology can significantly impact climate and hydrological conditions.

Summer snow extent heralding of the winter North Atlantic Oscillation

, 2003
[1] Winter climate over the North Atlantic and European sector is modulated by the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). We find that the summer extent of snow cover over northern North America and northern Eurasia is linked significantly (p < 0.01) to the ...

Snow stratigraphic heterogeneity within ground-based passive microwave radiometer footprints: implications for emission modeling

, 2014
Two-dimensional measurements of snowpack properties (stratigraphic layering, density, grain size and temperature) were used as inputs to the multi-layer Helsinki University of Technology (HUT) microwave emission model at a centimeter-scale horizontal ...

Evaluation of Operation IceBridge quick-look snow depth estimates on sea ice

, 2015
We evaluate Operation IceBridge (OIB) ‘quick-look’ (QL) snow depth on sea ice retrievals using in situ measurements taken over immobile first-year ice (FYI) and multi-year ice (MYI) during March of 2014. Good agreement was found over undeformed FYI (-4.5

Antarctic sea ice thickness and snow-to-ice conversion from atmospheric reanalysis and passive microwave snow depth [PDF]

, 2008
Passive microwave snow depth, ice concentration, and ice motion estimates are combined with snowfall from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) reanalysis (ERA-40) from 1979-2001 to estimate the prevalence of snow-to-ice ...

Changes in extreme nival conditions in Poland during the second half of the 20th century

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2008
The two main objectives of this study are: 1. to assess the scale of extreme nival conditions in Poland; 2. to provide a fragmentary, regional verification of the IPCC thesis of the increasing frequency of extreme atmospheric phenomena during recent ...
