Variability and trends in the duration and depth of snow cover in Poland in the 20th century
International Journal of Climatology, 2004AbstractThis study investigates the changes and variability of the number of days with snow cover of ≥1 cm depth and the seasonal maximum snow cover depth at 66 meteorological stations throughout Poland, spanning a period of 50 (1948–49 to 1997–98) to 108 (1895–96 to 2002–03) winter seasons.

Characteristics of snow cover duration across the northeast United States of America
International Journal of Climatology, 1997The presence or absence of a snow cover affects a myriad of environmental and societal systems through its modification of the surface radiation balance and its ultimate impact on near-surface air temperatures. Daily snow cover data were collected for a network of 91 stations covering the northeast USA from Maine, south through to West Virginia.

Variability and changes of the height and duration of snow cover on the Gąsienicowa Glade (Tatras)
International Journal of Climatology, 2023AbstractThe oldest meteorological station in the Polish Tatra Mountains is that on the Gąsienicowa Glade (1520 m). In this study, two series of observations for the years 1927–1938 and 1947–2020 are presented for the number of days with snow cover higher than 1 cm (SCD—from 142 to 228 days), maximum snow depth (HSmax—from 43 to 271 cm) and average snow

The temporary storage of precipitation in short term in the form of snow cover has an important function in the water balance of the Upper Danube drainage basin. Among other factors, snow cover depends on the climate variables temperature and precipitation; thus, it is a good indicator for climate change and its impacts for water balance and economic ...

The snow cover occurrence index (SCOI), deffned as the ratio of the number of times that a pixel is classiffed as snow to the number of times that the pixel is observed in optical remote sensing data over a given year, can effectively mitigate the inffuence of clouds and holds great potential for extracting the annual snow duration and glacier extent ...

Changes in climatic forcings on the Mediterranean area are foreseen by many global and regional models. Long-term temperature variations are expected to affect snow dynamics, thus impacting on the timing of the hydrologic response in Alpine catchments.

Spring snow cover duration and tundra greenness in the Lena Delta, Siberia
2022The Lena Delta in Siberia is the largest delta in the Arctic and as a snow-dominated ecosystem particularly vulnerable to climate change. Using the two decades of MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer satellite acquisitions, this study investigates interannual and spatial variability of snow-cover duration and summer vegetation vitality in the ...

RECENT CHANGES IN THE SNOW COVER DURATION IN BULGARIA � PRELIMINARY RESULTS
SGEM International Multidisciplinary Scientific GeoConference� EXPO ProceedingsSnow cover is an indicator of the fluctuating climate, resulting from the change in the regime of winter precipitations and air temperatures. Our previous studies have revealed significant decreasing of the seasonal snow cover maxima and the precipitation amounts in the highest mountainous regions of Bulgaria, which is however not so strong at lower ...

Snow Cover Duration in Relation to Topography in the Loetschental, Switzerland
2009In high mountain environments the spatial distribution of seasonal snow cover depends decisively on topography. Yearly repeated snow cover patterns during snow melt clearly indicate the impact of topography and influence significantly ecological and geomorphological patterns, as well as hydrological and climatic processes.

GIS-based modelling of spatial pattern of snow cover duration in an alpine area
Ecological Modelling, 2001Snow cover duration patterns of an alpine hillslope (approximately 2 km 2 ) were derived using daily terrestrial photographic remote sensing. We have developed a suite of quantitative models in order to investigate the relative controls of topographic factors, the degree of non-linearity, the effect of seasonal differences and a possible influence of ...
