Abstract: A satellite imagery-based Northern Hemisphere snow cover data archive was mapped for the period 1966?84: The maps were digitized in order to create the first hemispheric, spatially data-continuous climatologies of snow ...

Abstract: Research into the relationship between snow cover and observed maximum and minimum temperature is reviewed. An example of the importance of snow cover and forecasting max/min temperatures is presented for this past winter ...

Abstract: Data were collected during the 1971?72 snowfall season for the Lake Huron basin. The bulk aerodynamic approach, as formulated by Priestley, was utilized to estimate the daily average flux of heat and moisture over the lake. ...

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to acquaint the research community with a new data base?a digitized archive of Northern Hemisphere snow cover. Historically, those researchers who needed snow cover data for climatic and ...

Abstract: Mean monthly snowfall data for 216 stations across the conterminous United States were analyzed to produce a climatology that identifies statistical, spatial and intraseasonal aspects. Geographic variations in the length ...

Abstract: Accurate monitoring of the large-scale dimensions of global snow cover is essential for understanding details of climate dynamics and climate change. Presently, such information is gathered individually from ground station ...

Abstract: A ten-year (1974?83) satellite record of snow cover is compared to a standard index of the Southern Oscillation. South American snow cover area during the May-October snow mean is found to be correlated significantly with ...
