Abstract:Assessment of spring snow cover fraction (SCF) can be valuable for understanding the efficacy of certain Earth system models (ESMs) in simulating the energy exchange between land and atmosphere system, global hydrological cycle and future climate impacts. In this work, we studied the model performance of 23 and 20 ESMs participating CMIP5 and CMIP6 by comparing satellite data from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and National Climatic Data Center (NOAA/NCDC) over the Northern Hemisphere (NH) and… Show more
