IMPACT OF THE MACRO-SCALE ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION ON SNOW COVER DURATION IN ROMANIA

Hrvatski meteorološki časopis, 2005
Abstract. The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the influence of atmospheric circulation, expressed by the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index on snow cover duration in Romania. The correlation coefficients between the NAO index values and the monthly number of days with snow cover at 99 stations from December to March 1961- 1990 are mostly ...

Impacts of snow cover duration on vegetation spring phenology over the Tibetan Plateau

Journal of Plant Ecology, 2018
Snow cover occupies large percentage of land surface in Tibetan Plateau. Snow cover duration (SCD) during non-growing seasons plays a critical role in regulating alpine vegetation’s phenology by affecting the energy budgets of land surface and soil moisture conditions.

The new indices to describe temporal discontinuity of snow cover on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
Snow cover on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau significantly impacts the climate, hydrology, and ecology of China and East Asia. Current studies mainly use snow cover days to describe its duration, overlooking the snow’s discontinuous nature.

Changes in snow cover and surface albedo in Estonia during the last 100 years

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 1995
The year-to-year changes of the snow cover and the albedo in late winter and early spring as climatic factors are studied. The dependence of the surface albedo on the duration of snow cover recorded at the Tartu Actinometric Station in 1953-1992 has been

A method for robust estimation of snow seasonality metrics from Landsat and Sentinel-2 time series data over Atlas Mountains scale using Google Earth Engine

Geocarto International
Seasonal snow cover provides the majority of freshwater supplies for human society and natural ecosystems especially in semi-arid regions. For water resource managers, precise data regarding the spatiotemporal variability of snow cover and snow phenology

Impacts of snow cover on the cooling mechanism and performance in the crushed-rock interlayer embankment

Advances in Climate Change Research
Most researches assume snow cover as an unventilated thermal resistance to discuss its impacts on the crushed-rock interlayer embankment (CRIE). However, as a porous medium, its role in altering ventilation cooling remains elusive.

Validation of the SNOWPACK model and reconstruction of multidecade snow climatology at Ram Mountain (Alberta, Canada) forced with NARR data

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research
In remote Canada, sparse meteorological stations hinder reliable snow data collection, especially for assessing historical records. Yet, these data are crucial to evaluate the effect of climate change on ecosystems and species.
