Abstract: Historical and reconstructed snow cover data from stations in Canada, the United States, the former Soviet Union, and the People?s Republic of China were used to reconstruct monthly snow cover extent (SCE) fluctuations ...

Abstract: A snowpack model sensitivity study, observed changes of snow cover in the NOAA satellite dataset, and snow cover simulations from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 3 (CMIP3) multimodel dataset are used to ...

Abstract: he Canadian Land Surface Scheme (CLASS), version 3.6.1, was run offline for the period 1990?2011 over a domain centered on eastern Canada, driven by atmospheric forcing data dynamically downscaled from ERA-Interim using ...

Abstract: Seasonal snow cover information over southern Canada was reconstructed from daily snowfall and maximum temperature data back to 1915 using a simple mass balance approach with snowmelt estimated via a calibrated temperature ...

Abstract: Eighteen global atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) participating in the second phase of the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP-2) are evaluated for their ability to simulate the observed spatial ...

Abstract: The performance of a modified version of the snow scheme included in the Interactions between Surface?Biosphere?Atmosphere (ISBA) land surface scheme, which was operationally implemented into the regional weather forecast ...

Abstract: his study evaluates key aspects of the snow cover, cloud cover, and radiation budget simulated by the Canadian Regional Climate Model, version 4 (CRCM4), coupled with two versions of the Canadian Land Surface Scheme (CLASS). ...

Abstract: s a nonprofit consortium launched in 2002 with the mandate to provide climate services to its governmental, academic, and private partners. These services have focused on the impacts of climate change in the province of ...
