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.

Snow Tracking and Trapping Harvest as Reliable Sources for Inferring Abundance: A 9-year Comparison [PDF]

Northeastern Naturalist, 2015
Abstract Trapping harvest and snow tracking are frequently used to infer population dynamics, yet there have been few evaluations of these indices. We developed population indices for Martes americana (American Marten), Mustela spp. (weasels), and Tamiasciurus hudsonicus (American Red Squirrel) from 9 years of snow-tracking data in eastern Canada.

Snow water equivalent in the Alps as seen by gridded data sets, CMIP5 and CORDEX climate models [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2017
The estimate of the current and future conditions of snow resources in mountain areas would require reliable, kilometre-resolution, regional-observation-based gridded data sets and climate models capable of properly representing snow processes and snow–

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.

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.

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

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.

An Assessment and Error Analysis of MOD10A1 Snow Product Using Landsat and Ground Observations Over China During 2000–2016

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2020
The MOD10A1 daily snow cover product offers a fine temporal resolution, which is particularly important for time-critical applications. Although the reliability of this product was mostly verified by ground measurements before use, the inadequate ...
