Spatio-temporal variability of snow water equivalent in the extra-tropical Andes Cordillera from distributed energy balance modeling and remotely sensed snow cover [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2016 Seasonal snow cover is the primary water source for human use and ecosystems along the extratropical Andes Cordillera. Despite its importance, relatively little research has been devoted to understanding the properties, distribution and variability of ...

Using CloudSat‐CPR Retrievals to Estimate Snow Accumulation in the Canadian Arctic
Earth and Space Science, 2020 Snow is a critical contributor to our global water and energy budget, with profound impacts for water resource availability and flooding in cold regions. The vast size and remote nature of the Arctic present serious logistical and financial challenges to

Effect of ENSO phase on large-scale snow water equivalent distribution in a GCM
, 2009 Understanding links between the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and snow would be useful for seasonal forecasting, but also for understanding natural variability and interpreting climate change predictions.

Soil erosion in an avalanche release site (Valle d'Aosta: Italy): towards a winter factor for RUSLE in the Alps [PDF]
, 2014 Soil erosion in Alpine areas is mainly related to extreme topographic and weather conditions. Although different methods of assessing soil erosion exist, the knowledge of erosive forces of the snow cover needs more investigation in order to allow soil ...

VARIABILITY OF WINTER RUNOFF OF THE OKA RIVER AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH CLIMATE CHANGE
Лëд и снег, 2018 Response of a river flow in a winter low-water period to the climate changes is analyzed by the example of theOkaRiver(245 thousand km2). The analysis was done for each individual month from December to March during the period 1980–2015.

Dynamic-stochastic modeling of snow cover formation on the European territory of Russia
Лëд и снег, 2015 A dynamic-stochastic model, which combines a deterministic model of snow cover formation with a stochastic weather generator, has been developed. The deterministic snow model describes temporal change of the snow depth, content of ice and liquid water ...

A Bayesian approach to snow water equivalent reconstruction [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2008 Snow water equivalent (SWE) reconstruction methods have previously been used to characterize seasonal SWE accumulation using mass and energy balance models and time series of remotely sensed snow‐covered area (SCA). Recognizing that the spatial signature of the seasonal SWE accumulation is an integration of a series of snowfall events, we have ...

On the Water Equivalent of Snow Measured with a Snow-sampler
Journal of the Japanese Society of Snow and Ice, 1962 Some examinations are made about errors of the water equivalent of snow measured with a snow-sampler. It is found that both the change of the sampling deficiency of a sampler related to the sorts of deposited snow and the irregular variation of the snow depth in an observation field might be the main factors that disturbed the uniformity of daily ...
