Inference of the North American snowfall and snow cover with recent global temperature changes / Pavel Ya. Groisman, Thomas R. Karl, Richard W. Knight, Richard R. Heim, Jr.
Title: | Inference of the North American snowfall and snow cover with recent global temperature changes / Pavel Ya. Groisman, Thomas R. Karl, Richard W. Knight, Richard R. Heim, Jr. |
Author(s): | Groisman, Pavel Ya. Karl, Thomas R. Knight, Richard W. Heim, Richard R., |
Date: | 1993. |
In: | Glaciological Data. (1993.), Report GD-25 (1993) |
Abstract: | Evidence suggests that projected global warming should be manifested most strongly in high latitudes by increase of mean temperature and total precipitation. Warming and increased precipitation, as rainfall, will force retreat of snow cover; however, increased snowfall may counter this and extend snow cover. This uncertainty in course of events is primary reason to analyze empirical data on contemporary changes in snow-cover expansion in attempt to reveal possible relationships with current changes in global temperature and high-latitude precipitation. |
