Dependence of surface albedo on snow cover duration and other snow parameters in Estonia

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 1995
The duration of snow cover, the state of surface, and the albedo in late winter to early spring are studied as climatic factors. A linear dependence of the surface albedo on the duration of snow cover has been found from the data recorded at Tartu ...

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,

Trends in Snow Cover Duration Across River Basins in High Mountain Asia From Daily Gap-Filled MODIS Fractional Snow Covered Area [PDF]

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
High Mountain Asia (HMA) has the largest expanse of snow outside of the polar regions and it plays a critical role in climate and hydrology. In situ monitoring is rare due to terrain complexity and inaccessibility, making remote sensing the most ...

Snow cover duration in Switzerland compared to Austria

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2004
The sensitivity of the number of days with snow cover at Swiss climate stations relative to the mean temperature over Europe has been determined for winter and spring.

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.

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.

Intercomparison of Sentinel-2 and modelled snow cover maps in a high-elevation Alpine catchment

Journal of Hydrology X, 2022
Modelling runoff generation in high-elevation Alpine catchments requires detailed knowledge on the spatio-temporal distribution of snow storage. With Sentinel-2 MultiSpectral Instrument (MSI), it is possible to map snow cover with a high temporal and ...

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.

Estimation of snow bulk density and snow water equivalent on the Tibetan Plateau using snow cover duration and snow depth

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2023
Study region: Tibetan Plateau (TP), China. Study focus: Snow water equivalent (SWE) measurements is few compared with snow depth (SD) but combining with snow bulk density (SBD) can convert SD to SWE. No robust model has been established to estimate SBD and SWE for the TP. In this study, we aims to develop a model capable of obtaining SBD and SWE on the

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
