Snow cover duration trends observed at sites and predicted by multiple models [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2020
The 30-year simulations of seasonal snow cover in 22 physically based models driven with bias-corrected meteorological reanalyses are examined at four sites with long records of snow observations. Annual snow cover durations differ widely between models,

Inconsistent response patterns of snow cover duration and snow depth over the Tibetan Plateau to global warming

Advances in Climate Change Research
Snow cover possesses high albedo and thermal insulation properties, greatly influencing climate change and responding rapidly to climatic variation, particularly on the Tibetan Plateau. The region's combination of low latitude and intense solar radiation

Changes in Snow Depth, Snow Cover Duration, and Potential Snowmaking Conditions in Austria, 1961–2020—A Model Based Approach [PDF]

Atmosphere, 2020
We used the spatially distributed and physically based snow cover model SNOWGRID-CL to derive daily grids of natural snow conditions and snowmaking potential at a spatial resolution of 1 × 1 km for Austria for the period 1961–2020 validated against ...

Climate changes indicated by trends in snow cover duration and surface albedo in Estonia

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 1999
Climate changes revealed by trends in snow cover duration and surface albedo over the whole snowy season for Estonian territory are studied. An indirect method is used for deducing surface albedo from snow cover duration.

Warming-independent shortened snow cover duration enhances vegetation greening across northern permafrost region

Communications Earth & Environment
Reduced snow cover is becoming increasingly common in the Arctic-Boreal region under amplified warming, complicating efforts to isolate its specific impacts on plant productivity during the subsequent snow-free seasons.

Transient Effects of Snow Cover Duration on Primary Growth and Leaf Traits in a Tundra Shrub. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci, 2022
With the recent climate warming, tundra ecotones are facing a progressive acceleration of spring snowpack melting and extension of the growing season, with evident consequences to vegetation. Along with summer temperature, winter precipitation has been recently recognised as a crucial factor for tundra shrub growth and physiology.

Investigating snow cover duration changes based on a cloud-free snow cover product developed using a spatiotemporal cloud removal method for Northeast China

International Journal of Digital Earth
Optical remote sensing satellites have great potential for detecting long-term and large-scale snow cover properties with minimal manual effort. However, cloud contamination makes it challenging to obtain snow cover extent using optical sensors.

Modelling snow cover duration improves predictions of functional and taxonomic diversity for alpine plant communities. [PDF]

Ann Bot, 2015
Quantifying relationships between snow cover duration and plant community properties remains an important challenge in alpine ecology. This study develops a method to estimate spatial variation in energy availability in the context of a topographically complex, high-elevation watershed, which was used to test the explanatory power of environmental ...

Empirical modelling of snow cover duration patterns in complex terrains of Italy [PDF]

Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2021
AbstractSnow cover duration is a crucial climate change indicator. However, measurements of days with snow cover on the ground (DSG) are limited, especially in complex terrains, and existing measurements are fragmentary and cover only relatively short time periods.
