High mountain areas
The cryosphere (including, snow, glaciers, permafrost, lake and river ice) is an integral
element of high mountain regions, which are home to roughly 10% of the global population …

How do climate and catchment attributes influence flood generating processes? A large‐sample study for 671 catchments across the contiguous USA
Hydrometeorological flood generating processes (excess rain, short rain, long rain,
snowmelt, and rain‐on‐snow) underpin our understanding of flood behavior. Knowledge …

Causative classification of river flood events
A wide variety of processes controls the time of occurrence, duration, extent, and severity of
river floods. Classifying flood events by their causative processes may assist in enhancing …

Spatiotemporal patterns of rain-on-snow and basal ice in high Arctic Svalbard: detection of a climate-cryosphere regime shift
Arctic winters have become increasingly warmer and rainier. Where permafrost prevails,
winter rain (or rain-on-snow) is known to occasionally cause extensive ice layers at the …

Changes in rain-on-snow events in mountain catchments in the rain–snow transition zone
ABSTRACT A shift from snowfall to rain affecting snow storage is expected in future.
Consequently, changes in rain-on-snow (ROS) events may occur. We evaluated the …
