Snow sensitivity to temperature and precipitation change during compound cold–hot and wet–dry seasons in the Pyrenees
Abstract R 2 > 0.8), with relative root mean square error and mean absolute error values less than 10 % of the observed HS values. Overall, the snow sensitivity to temperature and precipitation change decreased with elevation and increased towards the eastern Pyrenees. When the temperature increased progressively at 1 ∘ C intervals, the largest seasonal HS decreases from the baseline were at + 1 ∘ C. A 10 % increase in precipitation counterbalanced the temperature increases (≤ 1 ∘ C) at high elevations during the coldest months because temperature was far from the isothermal 0 ∘ C conditions. The maximal seasonal HS and peak HS max reductions were during WW seasons, and the minimal reductions were during CD seasons. During WW (CD) seasons, the seasonal HS decline per degree Celsius was 37 % (28 %) at low elevations, 34 % (30 %) at mid elevations, and 27 % (22 %) at high elevations. Further, the peak HS date was on average anticipated for 2, 3, and 8 d at low, mid, and high elevation, respectively. Results suggest snow sensitivity to temperature and precipitation change will be similar at other mid-latitude mountain areas, where snowpack reductions will have major consequences for the nearby ecological and socioeconomic systems.
