The State of Precipitation Measurements at Mid-to-High Latitudes

Atmosphere, 2023
The measurement of global precipitation is important for quantifying and understanding the Earth’s systems. While gauges form the basis of conventional measurements, global measurements are only truly possible using satellite observations.

Considerations on the dynamics of a cold spell over Greece

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 1995
A cold spell was observed in March 1987 over Greece, which was characterised by extremely low temperatures and heavy snowfall. The dynamic and thermodynamic characteristics of this rather unusual event are investigated using ECMWF analyses.

Ground-based Assessment of Snowfall Detection over Land Using Polarimetric High Frequency Microwave Measurements

Remote Sensing, 2020
This paper explores the capability of high frequency microwave measurements at vertical and horizontal polarizations in detecting snowfall over land. Surface in-situ meteorological data were collected over Conterminous US during two winter seasons in ...

Climatology of Lake-Effect Snow Days Along the Southern Shore of Lake Michigan: What Is the Sensitivity to Environmental Factors and Snowband Morphology?

Frontiers in Water, 2022
The Laurentian Great Lakes have substantial influences on regional climatology, particularly with impactful lake-effect snow events. This study examines the snowfall, cloud-inferred snow band morphology, and environment of lake-effect snow days along the

What Can We Learn from the CloudSat Radiometric Mode Observations of Snowfall over the Ice-Free Ocean?

Remote Sensing, 2020
The quantification of global snowfall by the current observing system remains challenging, with the CloudSat 94 GHz Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) providing the current state-of-the-art snow climatology, especially at high latitudes.

Snowpack as Indicators of Atmospheric Pollution: The Valday Upland

Atmosphere, 2020
Snowpack is a unique indicator in assessing both local and transboundary contaminants. We considered the features of the snow chemical composition of the Valday Upland, Russia, as a location without a direct influence of smelters (conditional background)
