Journal ArticleDOI
Elevation-dependent warming in mountain regions of the world
Nick Pepin,Raymond S. Bradley,Henry F. Diaz,Michel Baraer,E. B. Caceres,Nathan Forsythe,Hayley J. Fowler,Gregory B. Greenwood,M. Z. Hashmi,Xiaodong Liu,James R. Miller,Liang Ning,A. Ohmura,Elisa Palazzi,Imtiaz Rangwala,Wolfgang Schöner,Igor Severskiy,Maria Shahgedanova,M. B. Wang,Scott N. Williamson,D. Q. Yang +20 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Advances in snow monitoring and modelling are reviewed, and the impact of snow changes on ecosystems and society in Arctic regions is reviewed, to improve the ability to predict manage and adapt to natural hazards in the Arctic region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating Temperature Fields from MODIS Land Surface Temperature and Air Temperature Observations in a Sub-Arctic Alpine Environment
TL;DR: It is concluded that satellite infrared skin temperature (e.g., MODIS LST), which is often aggregated into multi-day composites to mitigate data reductions caused by cloud cover, changes in its relationship to air temperature depending on the period of aggregation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating Cloud Contamination in Clear-Sky MODIS Terra Daytime Land Surface Temperatures Using Ground-Based Meteorology Station Observations
TL;DR: In this paper, the results indicate that air temperature observed at a variety of discrete spatial locations having different land cover is highly correlated with MODIS LST collected at 1-km grid spacing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Iceberg calving rates from northern Ellesmere Island ice caps, Canadian Arctic, 1999-2003
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used satellite imagery to estimate surface velocities and iceberg calving rates from Agassiz and western Grant Ice Caps, Nunavut, Canada, between 1999 and 2003.
