The land surface is a key component of climate models. It controls the partitioning of
available energy at the surface between sensible and latent heat, and it controls the …

This paper presents an analysis of observed and simulated historical snow cover extent and
snow mass, along with future snow cover projections from models participating in the World …

This report is the first complete assessment of the science of climate change since Working
Group I (WGI) of the IPCC produced its second report Climate Change 1995: The Science of …

Results are presented from the multi‐institution partnership to develop a real‐time and
retrospective North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS). NLDAS consists of …

The Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP) is an international effort to
determine the systematic climate errors of atmospheric models under realistic conditions …

Snow-cover information is important for a wide variety of scientific studies, water supply and
management applications. The NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) Moderate Resolution …

A snowpack model sensitivity study, observed changes of snow cover in the NOAA satellite
dataset, and snow cover simulations from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase …

Thirty‐three snowpack models of varying complexity and purpose were evaluated across a

To improve the depiction of autumn through spring land–atmosphere interactions and
feedbacks within regional and global weather, climate, and hydrologic models, a Subgrid …

Abstract Evaluation of snow cover in GCMs has been hampered by a lack of reliable gridded
estimates of snow water equivalent (SWE) at continental scales. In order to address this gap …
