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 ...

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.

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,

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

Annals of Botany, 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 ...

European Snow Cover Characteristics between 2000 and 2011 Derived from Improved MODIS Daily Snow Cover Products

Remote Sensing, 2012
Mean snow cover duration was derived for the entire continent of Europe based on the MODIS daily snow cover products MOD10A1 and MYD10A1 for the period from 2000 to 2011. Dates of snow cover start and snow cover melt were also estimated.

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

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.

Long‐term trends (1958–2017) in snow cover duration and depth in the Pyrenees [PDF]

International Journal of Climatology, 2020
AbstractThis study investigated the temporal variability and changes in snow cover duration and the average snow depth from December to April in the Pyrenees at 1,500 and 2,100 m a.s.l. for the period 1958–2017. This is the first such analysis for the entire mountain range using SAFRAN‐Crocus simulations run for this specific purpose. The SAFRAN‐Crocus

Understanding the Snow Cover Climatology over Turkey from ERA5-Land Reanalysis Data and MODIS Snow Cover Frequency Product [PDF]

Geosciences, 2023
Understanding the distribution, patterns, and characteristics of snowfall and snow cover within a given region over extended periods is important. Snow climatology provides valuable insights into the seasonal and long-term variations in snowfall, helping

Impact of disturbed desert soils on duration of mountain snow cover [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2007
Snow cover duration in a seasonally snow covered mountain range (San Juan Mountains, USA) was found to be shortened by 18 to 35 days during ablation through surface shortwave radiative forcing by deposition of disturbed desert dust. Frequency of dust deposition and radiative forcing doubled when the Colorado Plateau, the dust source region, experienced
