From: Spatial variation of the rain–snow temperature threshold across the Northern Hemisphere
Simulated average snowfall frequency and its standard deviation across the Northern Hemisphere land surface as computed using 18 different precipitation phase methods applied to MERRA-2 reanalysis data. a Average snowfall frequency for the 18 methods. b Snowfall frequency standard deviation for the 18 methods. Only grid cells with an average of at least one snowfall event per year were included in the above maps. Land areas in white represent both hot (e.g., India and Southeast Asia) and arid regions (e.g., the Taklamakan Desert in northwest China and the Saharan Desert) where snowfall is rare
