Abstract Snowpack temperatures from a subalpine forest below Niwot Ridge, Colorado, are examined with respect to atmospheric conditions and the 30-min ...

Though there is fairly strong consensus that turbulent fluxes above the snow surface are an important control on temperature changes within the snowpack, to the ...

Snow Temperature Changes Within A Seasonal Snowpack And ...

In the lower snowpack, daily snow temperature changes greater than 1°C day−1 occurred about 1–2 times in late winter and early spring, which ...

(PDF) Snow Temperature Changes within a Seasonal Snowpack ...

Around midday, decoupling of subcanopy and above-canopy air led to an apparent cooling of the snow surface by sensible heat. Sources of uncertainty in the ...

Snowpack affects soil microclimate throughout the year

We utilize a time-integrated snowpack descriptor and find that snowpacks with lower seasonal snow water equivalents result in more soil temperature variation ...

Trends in seasonal snowpack and their relation to climate variables ...

Snowpack was more sensitive to changes in air temperature at elevations below 900 m a.s.l., while precipitation had a larger impact on snowpack at elevations ...

The Impacts of Changing Winter Warm Spells on Snow Ablation ...

An increase in winter air temperature can amplify snowmelt and sublimation in mountain regions with implications to water resources and ...

Climate change-resilient snowpack estimation in the Western United ...

In the 21st century, warmer temperatures and changing atmospheric circulation will likely produce unprecedented changes in Western United ...

Changing Climate Behind Sharp Drop in Snowpack Since 1980s

“Snow is very sensitive to within-winter variations in temperature and precipitation, and the risks from snow loss are not the same in New ...

Meteorological control on snow depth evolution and snowpack ...

Snow cover is an integral component of the climate system in cold climate regions. It represents a major part of the terrestrial water storage during the winter ...

Future Changes in Snowpack, Snowmelt, and Runoff Potential ...

This is likely because warmer temperatures in extremely cold regions will increase snowfall by increasing winter precipitation and available moisture (Brown et ...

Snow Properties - Hydrologic Engineering Center

In many cases, during the accumulation phase of the winter season, a difference in temperature exists between the top surface and the base of the snowpack.

Observations and simulations of the seasonal evolution of snowpack ...

In general, simple temperature-index models employ method (1), while both (2) and (3) are utilized in physics-based snow models. These methods suggest that cold ...

Snowpack variations and their hazardous effects under climate ...

Climate warming delayed the snowfall and snow-cover onset as well as earlier snowmelt, which in turn directly reduced the length of skiing and winter seasons ...

Science of Snow | National Snow and Ice Data Center

As weather conditions change, the snowpack can change as well, and this affects the characteristics of the snow. Snowy landscape in bright sun in Iowa. The sun ...

Climate Change Indicators: Snowfall | US EPA

One reason for the decline in total snowfall is because more winter precipitation is falling in the form of rain instead of snow. Nearly 80 ...

Changes in Climatology, Snow Cover, and Ground Temperatures at ...

Cooling effects are mainly seen in early winter, because of the high albedo (Wendler and Kelley, 1988; Zhang et al., 1996) and during snow melt ...
