A Quantitative Approach to Evaluating the Effects of Snow Cover on Cold Airmass Temperatures across the U.S. Great Plains

Over the past two decades a greater emphasis has been placed on the accuracy of the representation of snow cover-atmosphere interactions in weather and climate prediction models. Much of the attention centered upon snow cover is a result of concerns associated with anthropogenic and natural causes o...

Summary:Over the past two decades a greater emphasis has been placed on the accuracy of the representation of snow cover-atmosphere interactions in weather and climate prediction models. Much of the attention centered upon snow cover is a result of concerns associated with anthropogenic and natural causes of potential changes in the global environment that may be intensified by the snow cover climatology.
