Investigating snow cover duration changes based on a cloud-free snow cover product developed using a spatiotemporal cloud removal method for Northeast China by Dajiang Yan, Yinsheng Zhang

“…The rate of decrease in the seasonal SCD was most significant in spring, followed by that in winter and autumn. The correlation between changes in SCD and changes in snowfall is stronger than the correlation between SCD changes and air temperature changes, indicating that SCD is more sensitive to changes in snowfall, which could have significant implications for our understanding of climate change and its impact on snow cover.…”

Weakening of regional contrasts in glacier changes around the Tarim Basin in the early 21st century by Xiaoqian Xu, Wen Wang, Linghong Ke, Pinxuan Zhou

“…This decrease in spatial heterogeneity may drive by declining winter-spring snowfall and intensified summer warming in the south and west, coupled with a slowdown autumn warming and increased spring snowfall in the north. …”
