An analysis of present and future seasonal Northern Hemisphere land snow cover simulated by CMIP5 coupled climate models
The 20th century seasonal Northern Hemisphere (NH) land snow cover as simulated by available CMIP5 model output is compared to observations. On average, the models reproduce the observed snow cover extent very well, but the significant trend towards a reduced spring snow cover extent over the 1979–2...
