Spatial and temporal variability of snow cover in the southern forest-steppe of the Upper Ob River
The study area is the forest-steppe in the Upper Ob basin located on the south of the West Siberian Plain. The results of studies of the dates of setting-up and loss of a stable snow cover and its duration are presented, the thickness of snow and snow ...

Distributed snow and rock temperature modelling in steep rock walls using Alpine3D [PDF]
In this study we modelled the influence of the spatially and temporally heterogeneous snow cover on the surface energy balance and thus on rock temperatures in two rugged, steep rock walls on the Gemsstock ridge in the central Swiss Alps.

Changes in Snow Phenology from 1979 to 2016 over the Tianshan Mountains, Central Asia [PDF]
Snowmelt from the Tianshan Mountains (TS) is a major contributor to the water resources of the Central Asian region. Thus, changes in snow phenology over the TS have significant implications for regional water supplies and ecosystem services.

An investigation of the effect of transient climate change on snowmelt, flood frequency and timing in northern Britain [PDF]
Climate change is almost certain to affect snow and ice processes. Even at lower latitudes, changes in snow cover at high altitudes can significantly affect catchment hydrology.

Implications of spatial distributions of snow mass and melt rate for snow-cover depletion: observations in a subarctic mountain catchment [PDF]
Spatial statistics of snow water equivalent (SWE) and melt rate were measured using spatially distributed, sequential ground surveys of depth and density in forested, shrub and alpine tundra environments over several seasons within a 185 km(2) mountain ...
