Monthly trends and the corresponding altitudinal shift in the snowfall/precipitation day ratio
Gaelle Serquet, Christoph Marty & Martine Rebetez
| Résumé |
A better understanding of the impact of changing temperatures on
snow amounts is very important for the ski industry, but it is
difficult to measure, particularly at different times of the snow
season and not only on an annual or seasonal basis. Here, we
analyze the snow day vs precipitation day ratios on a monthly basis
from November to April in Switzerland and at 52 meteorological
stations located between 200 and 2,700 m above sea level over a
48-year time span. Our results show that the conditions measured in
the 1960s in November and March correspond to the present ones in
December, January, and February. |
