The mountain cryosphere of mainland Europe is recognized to have important impacts on a
range of environmental processes. In this paper, we provide an overview on the current …

Snow plays a crucial role in the global water cycle, providing water to over 20% of the
world's population and serving as a vital component for flora, fauna, and climate regulation …

The enhancement of warming rates with elevation, so-called elevation-dependent warming
(EDW), is one of the regional, still not completely understood, expressions of global …

Assessing past distributions, variability and trends in the mountain snow cover and its first-
order drivers, temperature and precipitation, is key for a wide range of studies and …

A study of seasonal mean temperature, precipitation, and wind speed has been performed
for a set of 19 global climate model (GCM) driven high-resolution regional climate model …

Long-term studies are essential to understand the impacts of global changes on the multiple
facets of biological diversity. Here, we use distribution data for over 600 species of …

This article investigates the climatic response of a series of indicators for characterizing
annual snow conditions and corresponding meteorological drivers at 1500 m altitude in the …

Twenty-first century snowfall changes over the European Alps are assessed based on high-
resolution regional climate model (RCM) data made available through the EURO-CORDEX …

Mountain snow has a fundamental role in regional water budgets through its seasonal
accumulation, storage, and melt. However, characterizing snow accumulation over large …

Regional climate simulations with high horizontal resolutions are becoming increasingly
common and although model development has continually enhanced the representation of …
