Publisher Summary This chapter presents a brief overview of climate regionalization
approaches. It introduces land-surface parameters relevant to assessing the short-and long …

Aim Assessing potential response of alpine plant species distribution to different future
climatic and land‐use scenarios. Location Four mountain ranges totalling 150 km2 in the …

Current theories of snow metamorphism indicate that sublimating snow crystals have
rounded shapes, while growing crystals have shapes that depend on growth rates. At slow …

Snow distribution patterns are similar from one year to the next because they are largely
controlled by the interaction of topography, vegetation, and consistent synoptic weather …

Based on newly developed methods by the author, who is the inventor of HASM methods,
this handbook bridges the gap between the mathematical-oriented theory of surface …

In recent years alternative modeling techniques have been used to account for spatial
autocorrelations among data observations. They include linear mixed model (LMM) …

Accurate, objective, reliable, and timely predictions of crop yield over large areas are critical
to helping ensure the adequacy of a nation's food supply and aiding policy makers on …

Time‐lapse photography provides an attractive source of information about snow cover
characteristics, especially at the small catchment scale. The objective of this study was to …

The proliferation of 'commercial off-the-shelf'geographical information systems into the
scientific community has resulted in the widespread use of spatial climate data in a variety of …

Small, self‐recording temperature sensors can be deployed quickly and inexpensively to
monitor spatial and temporal patterns of snow accumulation and melt in complex …
