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 …

Modeling snow redistribution by wind and avalanches in hydrological studies in alpine
catchments is important, as the spatial variability of the snow cover has an impact on timing …

The interaction of mountain terrain with meteorological processes causes substantial
temporal and spatial variability in snow accumulation and ablation. Processes impacted by …

Elevation strongly affects quantity and distribution patterns of precipitation and snow.
Positive elevation gradients were identified by many studies, usually based on data from …

Mountain snow-cover is normally heterogeneously distributed due to wind and precipitation
interacting with the snow cover on various scales. The aim of this study was to investigate …

The spatial distribution of alpine snow covers is characterised by large variability. Taking this
variability into account is important for many tasks including hydrology, glaciology, ecology …

Orographic lifting of air masses and other topographically modified flows induce cloud and
precipitation formation at larger scales and preferential deposition of precipitation at smaller …

In non-forested mountain regions, wind plays a dominant role in determining snow
accumulation and melt patterns. A new, computationally efficient algorithm for distributing …

Glaciers in the Andes of Chile seem to be shrinking and possibly loosing mass, but the
number and types of studies conducted, constrained mainly by data availability, are not …

Vast regions of the northern hemisphere are exposed to snowfall and seasonal frost. This
has large effects on spatiotemporal distribution of infiltration and groundwater recharge …
