Abstract:<p>With persistent global warming, more precipitation will land on the earth's surface as rainfall instead of snowfall. Here, based on observations from hundreds of catchments, we proposed a framework (the second-order Budyko framework) to investigate hydro-climatic relationships between annual streamflow and snowfall fraction. Results show that in addition to the mean annual streamflow, the inter-annual streamflow variability will also decrease with lower snowfall fraction in the contex… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
