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 …

The temporal evolution of seasonal snow cover and its spatial variability in environments
such as mountains, prairies or polar regions is strongly influenced by the interactions …

We present a review of the changing state of European permafrost within a spatial zone that
includes the continuous high latitude arctic permafrost of Svalbard and the discontinuous …

This paper evaluates the use of field data on the spatial variability of snow water equivalent
(SWE) to guide the design of distributed snow models. An extensive reanalysis of results …

The spatio-temporal variability of the mountain snow cover determines the avalanche
danger, snow water storage, permafrost distribution and the local distribution of fauna and …

Snowfall may have different stable isotopic compositions compared with rainfall, allowing its
contribution to potentially be tracked through the hydrological cycle. This review summarizes …

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 …

The application of numerical modelling of the snowpack in support of avalanche hazard
prediction is increasing. Modelling, in complement to direct observations and weather …

This paper examines the spatial error structures of eight precipitation estimates derived from
four different satellite retrieval algorithms including TRMM Multi-satellite Precipitation …

Abstract High-Mountain Asia (HMA) shows a remarkable warming tendency and divergent
trend of regional precipitation with enhanced meteorological extremes. The rapid thawing of …
