摘要: ABSTRACT In this study, we quantified the spatiotemporal variability and trends in observations of multiple snow characteristics High Arctic Zackenberg Northeast Greenland through 18 years. Annual premelt snow-depth collected 2005–2014 along an elevation gradient showed significant differences depth between vegetation types. The seasonal cover was characterized by strong interannual region. Particularly timing snow-cover onset melt, annual maximum accumulation, varied up to order magnitude Hence, apart from fraction registered annually on 10 June, which exhibits a trend -2.3% per year over 18-year period, found little evidence observed characteristics. Moreover, SnowModel results for region confirmed that pronounced precipitations has persisted setting sinc...
