Spatiotemporal variation characteristics and influencing factors of snow density in the High Mountain Asia from 1960 to 2023. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Under the context of climate change, significant variations in snow density have been observed in the High Mountain Asia, however, its spatiotemporal patterns and underlying drivers remain incompletely understood.

Combined Use of Multiple Cloud‐Free Snow Cover Products in China and Its High‐Mountain Region: Implications From Snow Cover Identification to Snow Phenology Detection

Water Resources Research
Accurate snow phenology detection, including snow cover days (SCD), snow start date (SSD), and snow end date (SED), is increasingly important for understanding mountain hydrology such as snow heterogeneity and snowmelt seasonality.

Remote Sensing Phenology of Antarctic Green and Red Snow Algae Using WorldView Satellites [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Snow algae are an important group of terrestrial photosynthetic organisms in Antarctica, where they mostly grow in low lying coastal snow fields. Reliable observations of Antarctic snow algae are difficult owing to the transient nature of their blooms and the logistics involved to travel and work there.

Distribution and Attribution of Terrestrial Snow Cover Phenology Changes over the Northern Hemisphere during 2001–2020

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,

Phenological Responses to Snow Seasonality in the Qilian Mountains Is a Function of Both Elevation and Vegetation Types

Remote Sensing, 2022
In high-elevation mountains, seasonal snow cover affects land surface phenology and the functioning of the ecosystem. However, studies regarding the long-term effects of snow cover on phenological changes for high mountains are still limited.

Impact of Snow Cover Phenology on the Vegetation Green-Up Date on the Tibetan Plateau

Remote Sensing, 2022
Variations in snow cover resulting from global warming inevitably affect alpine vegetation growth on the Tibetan Plateau (TP), but our knowledge of such influences is still limited.

Characterizing ecosystem phenological diversity and its macroecology with snow cover phenology [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
AbstractOne critical challenge of exploring flora phenology is on characterizing ecosystem phenological diversity (EPD), and thus how EPD’s performance is influenced by climate changes has also been an open macro-ecological question. To fill these two gaps, we proposed an innovative method for reflecting EPD, by taking the advantage of the often ...

Land Surface Snow Phenology Based on an Improved Downscaling Method in the Southern Gansu Plateau, China

Remote Sensing, 2022
Snow is involved in and influences water–energy processes at multiple scales. Studies on land surface snow phenology are an important part of cryosphere science and are a hot spot in the hydrological community.

Variability in snow cover phenology in China from 1952 to 2010 [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2016
Abstract. Daily snow observation data from 672 stations in China, particularly the 296 stations with over 10 mean snow cover days (SCDs) in a year during the period of 1952–2010, are used in this study. We first examine spatiotemporal variations and trends of SCDs, snow cover onset date (SCOD), and snow cover end date (SCED).

Relationship between vegetation phenology and snow cover changes during 2001–2018 in the Qilian Mountains

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Vegetation phenology has a profound impact on soil and water conservation and biogeochemical cycles, while its relationship with snow parameters has not been well addressed for parts of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP).
