Remote Sensing, 2021 Snow cover phenology has exhibited dramatic changes in the past decades. However, the distribution and attribution of the hemispheric scale snow cover phenology anomalies remain unclear. Using satellite-retrieved snow cover products, ground observations,

Soil microbial communities and carbon and nitrogen forms across snow-driven vegetation types in alpine tundra [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyIntroductionAlpine tundra vegetation, also shaped by snow persistence, is expected to undergo shifts in plant community composition under climate change as snow cover duration declines, with potential consequences for soil biogeochemistry and microbial ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Change and Variability of Snow Cover in Kraków in a 100-Year Observation Series [PDF]
Quaestiones Geographicae, 2023 This article presents the results of research on the changes and variability of snow cover in Kraków in the 100-year period 1921/22–2020/21 and in its two sub-periods covering the years of the slow and rapid territorial, urban and industrial development ...

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.

Science of The Total Environment, 2023 Seasonal snow cover duration is the net result from many processes acting on snow fallen on the Earth's surface. Several of these processes feed back into the atmosphere-cryosphere system causing non-linear interactions. The timing of snow retreat is of essential importance, but the duration of snow cover has large spatiotemporal variabilities. However,

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.
