In mountainous regions, snow accumulation on the ground is crucial for mountain hydrology and water resources. The present study investigates the link between the spatial variability in snowfall and in snow accumulation ...

Recent evidence shows that most Patagonian glaciers are receding rapidly. Due to the lack of in situ long-term meteorological observations, the understanding of how glaciers are responding to changes in climate over this ...

It is shown that the snow stake measurements in central Antarctica systematically underestimate the value of the snow build-up. Two methods for the calculation of the corresponding correction to the snow stake measurements ...

This paper quantifies the climatological contribution of atmospheric rivers (ARs) to annual snow accumulation in the Andes Cordillera between 26.5° S and 36.5° S. An AR identification algorithm, and a high-resolution (0.01°) ...

Southern Patagonia Icefield (SPI) glaciers have been retreating and shrinking at high rates in recent decades, significantly contributing to sea level rise. In spite of the importance of the SPI, very little is known about ...

Antarctica is well known to be highly susceptible to atmospheric and oceanic warming. However, due to the lack of long-term and in situ meteorological observations, little is known about the magnitude of the warming and ...

Obtaining detailed information about high mountain snowpacks is often limited by insufficient ground-based observations and uncertainty in the (re)distribution of solid precipitation. We utilize high-resolution optical ...
