Abstract: Potential benefits or disadvantages of increasing precipitation in high-latitude regions under a warming climate are dependent on how and in what form the precipitation occurs. Precipitation frequency and type are equally ...

Abstract: Spatial and temporal characteristics of winter snow depth variation over northern Eurasia and their connections to sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and associated atmospheric circulation anomalies, surface air temperatures, ...

Abstract: This study reveals spatial and temporal characteristics of precipitation variability and their teleconnections to sea surface temperatures (SSTs) over the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by analyzing 68 yr of recent precipitation ...

Abstract: aily synoptic observations were examined to determine the critical air temperatures and dewpoints that separate solid versus liquid precipitation for the fall and spring seasons at 547 stations over northern Eurasia. The ...

Abstract: Winter snow depth observations from 119 Russian stations during the years 1936?83 are selected. These irregularly spaced station data are then interpolated into 220 regular grids of 2° lat ? 5.24° long that cover a region ...

Abstract: It has been suggested that previous results indicating an increase in surface temperatures over the past 40 years within the coldest air masses at four stations in the western North American Arctic may be attributed to the ...

Abstract: The influences of surface climate conditions and atmospheric circulation on seasonal river discharges of the Ob, Yenisei, and Lena River basins during 1936?95 have been examined and quantified. Climatic variables include ...

Abstract: he possibility of using remote sensing retrievals to estimate apparent water vapor sinks and heat sources is explored. The apparent water vapor sinks and heat sources are estimated from a combination of remote sensing, ...

Abstract: he authors investigate if atmospheric water vapor from remote sensing retrievals obtained from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder/Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AIRS) and the water vapor budget from the NASA Goddard Space ...
