Dominance of grain size impacts on seasonal snow albedo at deforested sites in New Hampshire [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
Snow cover serves as a major control on the surface energy budget in temperate regions due to its high reflectivity compared to underlying surfaces.

The application of time-series MODIS NDVI profiles for the acquisition of crop information across Afghanistan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We investigated and developed a prototype crop information system integrating 250 m Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data with other available remotely sensed imagery, field data, and ...

Snow Height Sensors Reveal Phenological Advance in Alpine Grasslands

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology
ABSTRACTLong‐term phenological data in alpine regions are often limited to a few locations and thus, little is known about climate‐change‐induced plant phenological shifts above the treeline. Because plant growth initiation in seasonally snow‐covered regions is largely driven by snowmelt timing and local temperature, it is essential to simultaneously ...

Density‐dependent habitat selection in plains bison

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Using GPS collar data, we tested whether habitat selection of plains bison in Grasslands National Park, Canada, was density dependent. Bison selected for areas of high vegetation productivity far from human activity when population density was low and increased use of lower productivity habitat closer to disturbance as density increased.

Seasonal variation of leaf functional traits in sub‐Arctic plants

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Leaf functional traits are informative of plant fitness and functions in ecosystems. These functional traits and their variation across geographic extents are much studied but less is known about their temporal variation over a growing season. Here, we provide an analysis of the seasonal variation in six leaf functional traits of 11 sub‐Arctic vascular

A multimodel intercomparison study of variable‐resolution global models with grid refinement over the Arctic and Antarctic

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We document the protocol and first results from the first ever coordinated multimodel variable‐resolution experiment set with refinement over the polar regions. We find that the refinement generally yields model‐dependent effects. The most consistent improvement is an amelioration of the upper‐level cold bias in the polar regions that translates into ...

Study on the Phenological Changes of Snow and Lake Ice in Qinghai Lake Basin based on MODIS Data

open access: yesGaoyuan qixiang
Phenological changes are of great significance to the study of climate response and ecological environment.Based on the MODIS V6 snow product and reflectivity product in the past 20 years, the snow and lake ice phenology in the Qinghai Lake Basin were ...

Understanding the Snow Cover Climatology over Turkey from ERA5-Land Reanalysis Data and MODIS Snow Cover Frequency Product

open access: yesGeosciences, 2023
Understanding the distribution, patterns, and characteristics of snowfall and snow cover within a given region over extended periods is important. Snow climatology provides valuable insights into the seasonal and long-term variations in snowfall, helping
