TL;DR: In this article, the benefits of a kilometric-resolution atmospheric forcing to a snowpack model for describing the spatial variability of the seasonal snow cover over a mountain range were evaluated by comparing ground-based measurements of the snow depth, the snow water equivalent and precipitations to satellite snow cover images and to snowpack simulations driven by the SAFRAN analysis system.

TL;DR: In this paper, daily forecasts of the NWP system Applications of Research to Operations at Mesoscale (AROME) at 2.5km grid spacing over the French Alps were considered for four consecutive winters (from 2010/11 to 2013/14).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the impact of three sub-kilometer precipitation datasets on distributed simulations of snowpack and glacier mass balance with the detailed snowpack model Crocus for winter 2011-2012.

TL;DR: In this article, shortwave and longwave radiation fluxes reaching Zongo glacier, Bolivia (16°S, 5060m asl), were analyzed from 2005 to 2013 to investigate cloud radiative properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, a crowd-sourced database of surface ice layer occurrences was built up, using reports from Internet mountaineering and ski-touring communities, to mitigate the lack of observations from conventional observation networks.
