Abstract. Snowmelt is a major fresh water resource, and quantifying snowmelt its variability under climate change necessary for the planning management of resources. Spatiotemporal changes in snow properties China have drawn wide attention recent decades; however, country-wide assessments are lacking. Using precipitation temperature data with high spatial resolution (0.5′; approximately 1 km), this study calculated monthly 1951–2017 period, using simple index model, model outputs were validated snowfall, depth, cover extent equivalent. Precipitation scenarios developed from five CMIP5 models used to predict future three different representative concentration pathway (RCP) (RCP2.6, RCP4.5 RCP8.5). The results show that mean annual 1951 2017 2.41×1011 m3 yr−1. values Northern Xinjiang, Northeast Tibetan Plateau – China's main stable regions 0.18×1011, 0.42×1011 1.15×1011 yr−1, respectively. From 2017, increased significantly decreased northern, central southeastern China. In whole China, there was decreasing trend snowmelt, but not statistically significant. runoff ratios generally more than 10 % almost all third-level basins West 5 North less 2 South most Under RCP2.6, RCP8.5, projected near (2011–2040; mid-future –2041–2070; far 2071–2099) may decrease by 10.4 (15.8 %; 13.9 %), 12.0 (17.9 21.1 %) 11.7 (24.8 36.5 compared reference period (1981–2010), Most periods lower those period.

A warming–wetting climate trend has led to increased runoff in most watersheds the Tian Shan Mountains over past few decades. However, it remains unclear how components, that is, rainfall (Rrain), snowmelt (Rsnow), and glacier meltwater (Rglacier), responded historical change they will evolve under future scenarios. Here, we used a modified Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenbalansavdelning (HBV) model detrending method quantify impact of precipitation temperature changes on components largest river (Manas River) northern slope from 1982 2015. multivariate calibration strategy, including snow cover, area, was implemented constrain parameters associated with components.

Snow cover is an important water source and even Essential Climate Variable (ECV) as defined by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Assessing snow phenology its driving factors in Northeast China will help with comprehensively understanding role of regional cycle climate change. This study presents spatiotemporal variations relative importance potential drivers, including climate, geography, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), based on MODIS products across from 2001 to 2018. The results indicated that days (SCD), onset dates (SCOD) end (SCED) all showed obvious latitudinal distribution characteristics. As latitude gradually increases, SCD becomes longer, SCOD advances SCED delays. Overall, there a growing tendency delayed trend time. were driven mean temperature, followed latitude, while precipitation, aspect slope had little effect SCD, SCED.

Abstract The compound of late winter snow droughts and early spring heatwaves (compound drought heatwave (CSDHW)) could dramatically affect ecosystems water availability, but has not been systematically investigated. Here we present a comprehensive assessment CSDHW events possible driving mechanisms. We find that 7% the snow‐covered area experiences significant ( p < 0.05) events, an average 35% are followed by during 1981–2020. spatial extent is asymmetrically enlarging, with increase in Eurasia relatively high fluctuation North America. Specifically, warm‐type (i.e., normal or above‐average precipitation heatwave) occurs more frequently, coverage increasing faster than dry‐type below‐average heatwave). In comparison, dry likely to be due intensified soil atmospheric aridity.
