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 …

The phase of precipitation when it reaches the ground is a first-order driver of hydrologic
processes in a watershed. The presence of snow, rain, or mixed-phase precipitation affects …

We propose a new classification to differentiate “dry snow drought” from “warm snow
drought.” These two uses of snow drought have different scientific underpinnings and …

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 …

There is a renewed focus on the design of infrastructure resilient to extreme
hydrometeorological events. While precipitation‐based intensity‐duration‐frequency (IDF) …

The concept of snow drought is gaining widespread interest as the climate of snow-
dominated mountain watersheds continues to change. Warm snow drought is defined as …

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 …

In snow‐dominated regions, a key source of uncertainty in hydrologic prediction and
forecasting is the magnitude and distribution of snow water equivalent (SWE). With …

In temperate regions such as the American west, forest trees often exhibit growth sensitivity
to climatic conditions of a particular season. For example, annual tree ring growth …

The accurate estimation of precipitation phase has broad applications. In this study, we
compared the skill of using various atmospheric variables and their combinations as …
