Increased Arctic winter Rain-on-snow-induced melt events detected by spaceborne passive microwave remote sensing
As the Arctic warms, more rain is falling on snow in winter, a phenomenon known as rain-on-snow (ROS) events. The ROS-induced snowmelt can alter snow properties, potentially leading to destructive floods, avalanches, and mass die-offs of ungulates. Passive microwave (PMW) satellite data shows promise in providing a p...
