Climate extremes threaten human health, economic stability, and the well-being of natural
and built environments (eg, 2003 European heat wave). As the world continues to warm …

Despite the importance of precipitation phase to global hydroclimate simulations, many land
surface models use spatially uniform air temperature thresholds to partition rain and snow …

Globally, winter temperatures are rising, and snowpack is shrinking or disappearing entirely.
Despite previous research and published literature reviews, it remains unknown whether …

In mountain terrain, well-configured high-resolution atmospheric models are able to simulate
total annual rain and snowfall better than spatial estimates derived from in situ observational …

Climate change is altering historical patterns of snow accumulation and melt, threatening
societal frameworks for water supply. However, decreases in spring snow water equivalent …

The precipitation phase (ie, rain and snow) is important for the global hydrologic cycle and
climate system. The objective of this study is to evaluate the precipitation-phase partitioning …

Climate warming will reduce the duration of mountain snowpacks and spring runoff,
impacting the timing, volume, reliability, and sources of water supplies to mountain …

In this study, we investigate changes in future streamflows in California using bias-corrected
and routed streamflows derived from global climate model (GCM) simulations under two …

Snowfall is an important component of the High Mountain Asia (HMA) cryosphere; its
changes affect the regional energy and water balance. Snowfall data from numerous …

Accumulation of snowfall during winter and snowmelt in the subsequent spring or earlier
summer provides a dominant water source in alpine regions. Most land surface and …
