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

Estimating Snow Cover Duration from Ground Temperature
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 ...

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

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

Winter Ecosystem Respiration and Sources of CO2 From the High Arctic Tundra of Svalbard: Response to a Deeper Snow Experiment [PDF]
Currently, there is a lack of understanding on how the magnitude and sources of carbon (C) emissions from High Arctic tundra are impacted by changing snow cover duration and depth during winter.

Snow cover and surface albedo in Estonia
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
