Dynamic identification of snow phenology in the Northern Hemisphere [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Snow phenology characterizes the cyclical changes in snow and has become an important indicator of climate change in recent decades. Changes in snow phenology can significantly impact climate and hydrological conditions.

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.

Changes in Snow Phenology from 1979 to 2016 over the Tianshan Mountains, Central Asia [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2019
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.

Relationship between Spatiotemporal Variations of Climate, Snow Cover and Plant Phenology over the Alps—An Earth Observation-Based Analysis

Remote Sensing, 2018
Alpine ecosystems are particularly sensitive to climate change, and therefore it is of significant interest to understand the relationships between phenology and its seasonal drivers in mountain areas.

Seasonal Coat Colour Moult and Mismatch in Ezo Mountain Hares (Lepus timidus ainu): Phenotypic Plasticity and Snow Cover Effects in Hokkaido, Japan

Ecology and Evolution
Seasonal coat colour (SCC) moult has evolved in numerous species to maintain camouflage in contrasting seasonal environments. Variations in snow cover patterns, particularly shifts in the timing and duration of snow cover, increase challenges for coat ...

Snow Phenology and Hydrologic Timing in the Yukon River Basin, AK, USA [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2021
The Yukon River basin encompasses over 832,000 km2 of boreal Arctic Alaska and northwest Canada, providing a major transportation corridor and multiple natural resources to regional communities. The river seasonal hydrology is defined by a long winter frozen season and a snowmelt-driven spring flood pulse.

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).
