Description: Das Projekt "Snow cover changes over Northern Eurasia during the last century: circulation consideration and hydrological consequences" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Max-Planck-Institut für Meteorologie durchgeführt. The general objective of the project is to assess the trends, climatic causes and hydrological consequences of the snow cover changes in Northern Eurasia during the 20th century. This objective could be accomplished through the extraction and comparison of surface data which are at the disposal of all the participating teams. Especially valuable will be the significant enlargement of the data for the FSU territory, made accessible to the scientific community. The comparison of these data with the archive of satellite images will bring added value to these unique databases. During the implementation of the project, the team members will be acquainted with each other's approaches and will supplement and harmonise them as far as possible. The specific objectives are: - To quantify the trends in snow cover; - To identify the main snow cover regions of Northern Eurasia; - To estimate the covariation in snow cover between regions; - To investigate the relation between snow cover variability and variations in atmospheric circulation patterns; - To investigate the impact of snow cover changes on basin-scale run-off. The project consists of 6 tasks logically interconnected with each other and corresponding to the specific objectives. The milestones of the project are: 1. Month 12. Compilation of quality checked data-bases from various sources, identification and removal of gaps and format differences; 2. Month 28. Completed maps of snow cover depth and density and snow data from remote sensing platforms; 3. Month 28. Analysis of the patterns of snow cover changes; 4. Month 33. Analysis of the linkages between atmospheric circulation and snow cover; 5. Month 36. Final report.
