Ski Areas and Snow Reliability Decline in the European Alps Under Increasing Global Warming—A Remote Sensing Perspective

Remote Sensing
The snowpack in the European Alps is declining due to global warming, which affects both the amount of seasonal snow and the timing of accumulation and melt.

Advancing the Reliability of Future Hydrological Projections in a Snow‐Dominated Alpine Watershed: Integrating Uncertainty Decomposition and CycleGAN Bias Correction

Earth's Future
Given the sensitivity of snow to climate change and its critical role in the hydrological cycle of alpine regions, it is essential to reduce biases in meteorological forces for driving hydrological models.

Is Eurasian snow cover in October a reliable statistical predictor for the wintertime climate on the Iberian Peninsula? [PDF]

International Journal of Climatology, 2013
ABSTRACTIn this study, the recently found lead–lag relationship between Eurasian snow cover increase in October and wintertime precipitation totals on the Iberian Peninsula is re‐visited and generalized to a broad range of atmospheric variables on the synoptic and local scale.

Uncertainty Analysis of Snow Depth Retrieval Products over China via the Triple Collocation Method and Ground-Based Measurements

Remote Sensing
Snow depth is a crucial variable when assessing the hydrological cycle and total water supply. Therefore, thorough and large-scale assessments of the widely used gridded snow depth products are highly important.

Modeling of the Snowdrift in Cold Regions: Introduction and Evaluation of a New Approach

Applied Sciences, 2019
Unbalanced, or non-uniform, snow loads caused by snow drifting or sliding in cold regions with heavy snowfalls, can be a serious problem for the building industry. However, the methods for predicting snow distribution still need to be improved.

Snow: a reliable indicator for global warming in the future?

Environmental Research Letters, 2012
The cryosphere consists of water in the solid form at the Earth's surface and includes, among others, snow, sea ice, glaciers and ice sheets. Since the 1990s the cryosphere and its components have often been considered as indicators of global warming because rising temperatures can enhance the melting of solid water (e.g. Barry et al 1993, Goodison and

Methodological challenges in content‐based citation analysis: Expertise, reliability, and the primacy of citance identification

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Content‐based citation analysis seeks to capture the meaning and functions of citations but continues to face unresolved methodological challenges. This study analyzes a stratified sample of library and information science publications to examine how citance segmentation and annotator expertise influence the consistency of classification ...

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.
