Changing Arctic snow cover: A review of recent developments and assessment of future needs for observations, modelling, and impacts

Snow is a critically important and rapidly

changing feature of the Arctic. However, snow-cover and

snowpack conditions change through time pose challenges

for measuring and prediction of snow. Plausible scenarios

of how Arctic snow cover will respond to changing Arctic

climate are important for impact assessments and

adaptation strategies. Although much progress has been

made in understanding and predicting snow-cover changes

and their multiple consequences, many uncertainties
