The seasonal evolution of snow cover has significant impacts on the hydrological cycle and
microclimate in mountainous regions. However, snow processes also play a crucial role in …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is the highest land in the world and has a very complex
topography. However, the influence of topography on TP snow cover simulations has not …

This study investigates the impact of topography on five snow cover fraction (SCF)
parameterizations developed for global climate models (GCMs), including two novel ones …

Thresholds can be used to interpret environmental data in a way that is easily
communicated and useful for decision-making purposes. However, thresholds are often …

Assessing the avalanche danger level requires snow stratigraphy and instability data. As
such data are usually sparse, we investigated whether distributed snow cover modeling can …

Abstract Information on snow depth and its spatial distribution is important for numerous
applications, including natural hazard management, snow water equivalent estimation for …

One of the primary causes of non-uniform snowfall deposition on the ground in mountainous
regions is the preferential deposition of snow, which results from the interaction of near …

The snow cover spatial variability in mountainous terrain changes considerably over the
course of a snow season. In this context, fractional snow-covered area (fSCA) is therefore an …

Remote sensing of snow is one of the more challenging targets for many spaceborne
sensors, due to the high spatiotemporal resolution required to capture the important …

Information on snow depth and its spatial distribution is important for numerous applications,
including natural hazard management, snow water equivalent estimation for hydropower …
