TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review important mechanisms that contribute towards elevation-dependent warming, such as snow albedo and surface-based feedbacks, water vapour changes and latent heat release, surface water vapours and radiative flux changes, surface heat loss and temperature change; and aerosols.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of climate change on resources in the Upper Indus is considered in terms of three hydrological regimes: a nival regime, a glacial regime, and a rainfall regime dependent on concurrent rainfall.

TL;DR: In this article, a regional circulation metric that quantifies the relative position and intensity of the westerly jet is proposed to explain the variability in energy-constrained ablation manifested in river flows across the Himalaya, with important implications for Himalayan glaciers' future.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Mann-Kendall nonparametric trend test on records extending from 1960 to 1998 was carried out using a non-parametric regression model to investigate the relationship between climate trends and vari- ability and river runoff and glacier mass balance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show how community-based hydrometeorological monitoring programs can provide reliable high-quality measurements comparable to formal observations, such as daily rainfall, river stage and groundwater levels obtained by a local community in Dangila woreda, northwest Ethiopia, have passed accepted quality control standards and have been statistically validated against formal sources.
