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

Estimating Snow Cover Duration from Ground Temperature

Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, 2015
AbstractSnow cover duration is commonly derived from snow depth, snow water equivalent, or satellite data. Snow cover duration has more recently also been inferred from ground temperature data. In this study, a probabilistic snow cover duration (SCD) model is introduced that estimates the conditional probability for snow cover given the daily mean and ...

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

Changes in Snow Storage in the Upper Hron River Basin (Slovakia) [PDF]

, 2014
An evaluation of changes in the snow cover in mountainous basins in Slovakia and a validation of MODIS satellite images are provided in this paper. An analysis of the changes in snow cover was given by evaluating changes in the snow depth, the duration

Snow cover and surface albedo in Estonia

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2000
The paper reviews the investigations into snow cover and surface albedo in Estonia. The albedo has been determined by an indirect method using the relationship between the albedo and the snow cover duration in the Tartu-Tõravere Actinometric Station over

Precipitation and snow cover in the Himalaya: from reanalysis to regional climate simulations [PDF]

, 2013
We applied a Regional Climate Model (RCM) to simulate precipitation and snow cover over the Himalaya, between March 2000 and December 2002. Due to its higher resolution, our model simulates a more realistic spatial variability of wind and precipitation ...
