Snow is an important driver of ecosystem processes in cold biomes. Snow accumulation determines ground temperature, light conditions, and moisture availability during winter. It also affects the growing season’s start and end, and plant access to moisture and nutrients.
10 sty 2024 · Coupled climate model simulations forced with historical human and natural forcing capture some features of the observed historical spatial pattern of snow change, particularly the large snow...
29 paź 2018 · Snow is a key component of the global climate system, influencing surface energy budgets, regulating temperatures, driving atmospheric teleconnections and governing hydrological systems.
29 paź 2018 · Nature Climate Change - Using the ‘Can it? Has it? Will it?’ framework, this Review synthesizes current understanding on Eurasian snow–atmosphere coupling, outlining observational...
31 sie 2019 · Highlight significant developments that have recently been made to enhance our understanding of how snow responds to climate forcing and the role that snow plays in the climate system. Widespread snow loss has occurred in recent decades, with the largest decreases in spring.
29 lip 2023 · Snow cover affects the global surface energy balance and, with its high albedo, exerts a cooling effect on the Earth’s climate. Decreases in snow cover alter the flow of solar energy from being reflected away from Earth to being absorbed, increasing the Earth’s surface temperature.
This review focuses on the current state of knowledge regarding snow-borne particles. It integrates snow science from different angles: from the formation of snow and precipitation to transformations through natural and anthropogenic processes and impacts and snow management in urban areas sites.
