A key indicator of climate change is the greater frequency and intensity of precipitation
extremes across much of the globe. In fact, several studies have already documented increased …

Purpose of Review Highlight significant developments that have recently been made to
enhance our understanding of how snow responds to climate forcing and the role that snow …

The intensification of extreme precipitation under anthropogenic forcing is robustly projected
by global climate models, but highly challenging to detect in the observational record. Large …

Projections of twenty-first-century Northern Hemisphere (NH) spring snow cover extent (SCE)
from two climate model ensembles are analyzed to characterize their uncertainty. Phase 5 …

Arctic sea ice has decreased substantially over recent decades, a trend projected to continue.
Shrinking ice reduces surface albedo, leading to greater surface solar absorption, thus …

Over the past decade, substantial progress has been made in improving our understanding
of surface albedo feedbacks, where changes in surface albedo from warming (cooling) can …

Despite major advances in climate science over the last 30 years, persistent uncertainties in
projections of future climate change remain. Climate projections are produced with …

A highly uncertain aspect of anthropogenic climate change is the rate at which the global
hydrologic cycle intensifies. The future change in global‐mean precipitation per degree …

Effectively modeling the influence of terrestrial snow on climate in general circulation models
is limited by imperfect knowledge and parameterization of arctic and subarctic climate …

Variation in snow albedo feedback (SAF) among Coupled Model Intercomparison Project
phase 5 climate models has been shown to explain much of the variation in projected 21st …
