We have recently experienced several heavy snowfall events, but still do not sufficiently
understand how global warming will impact changes in local extreme snowfall events. The …

Geographical distributions of heavy snowfall, especially in the Pacific Ocean side of Japan,
have not been previously elucidated due to low occurrence frequency of heavy snowfall and …

Some of the heaviest snowfalls in urban areas in the world occur in Japan, particularly in
regions that face the Japan Sea. Many heavy snowfalls are produced by a Japan Sea polar …

Strong cold air outbreaks caused heavy snowfall over the inland areas of the Sea of Japan
coast of Japan in mid‐December 2020. The 48‐hr accumulated snowfall during the term …

The region of Japan along the Japan Sea is one of the heaviest snowfall regions in the
world, and it appears to be increasingly vulnerable to climate variability and global warming …

The study used a 5 km-resolution regional climate model, the Advanced Research Weather
Research and Forecasting Model, to quantify the potential impact of sea surface temperature …

Long-term changes in extreme hourly precipitation in Japan were examined using data at
983 stations for 1979 to 2013, with relation to the variations in air temperature (AT) and sea …

Abstract Prolific winter (December‐January‐February) snowfall occurs over northwest Japan
due to frequent sea‐effect precipitation that develops during cold‐air outbreaks over the Sea …

Abstract The Sea of Japan side of Central Japan is one of the heaviest snowfall areas in the
world. We investigate near‐future snow cover changes on the Sea of Japan side using a …

East Asian winter weather has altered dramatically in response to progressing climate
change. However, analysis of time‐averaged atmospheric fields might obscure climate …
