Permafrost model sensitivity to seasonal climatic changes and extreme events in mountainous regions [PDF]
Climate models project considerable ranges and uncertainties in future climatic changes. To assess the potential impacts of climatic changes on mountain permafrost within these ranges of uncertainty, this study presents a sensitivity analysis using a ...

Dynamics of snow cover characteristics exerting influence on stability of the Svalbard permafrost
Climate variations result in changes of the snow cover characteristics which have a certain influence upon thermal state and stability of permafrost. Analysis of data of meteorological station Barentsburg (Svalbard) and our own observations has revealed ...

Long‐term trends (1958–2017) in snow cover duration and depth in the Pyrenees [PDF]
AbstractThis study investigated the temporal variability and changes in snow cover duration and the average snow depth from December to April in the Pyrenees at 1,500 and 2,100 m a.s.l. for the period 1958–2017. This is the first such analysis for the entire mountain range using SAFRAN‐Crocus simulations run for this specific purpose. The SAFRAN‐Crocus

Characteristics of the snow cover distribution on the coast of Lake Baikal
The paper presents results of studies of the dynamics of snow cover characteristics along the Lake Baikal coast for the years 1961–2009. Statistical characteristics of the following elements: snow depth, duration of the period with snow cover, dates of ...

Regional influence of ocean–atmosphere teleconnections on the timing and duration of MODIS-derived snow cover in British Columbia, Canada [PDF]
We use the twice-daily Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) snow cover product to study the regional influence of the Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) and Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) on snow cover in British Columbia (BC).
