Fig. 4: Contrasts in temporal variations of frequency and average snow probability of snow-dominated precipitation events over urban and buffer regions.
From: Imprint of urbanization on snow precipitation over the continental USA
Contrasts are evaluated for snow-dominated precipitation events (SDEs) with snow probability >50% (SDE50). Variables considered include a annual frequency of SDE50, and b annual average snow probability (SP) for SDE50. “s.s. trend” denotes statistically significant (Pval <0.05). In both the cases, a dominant percentage of UBPs (out of those with s.s. trends) exhibit negative trends (3500 out of 3578 (a) and 958 out of 982 (b)) where urban regions illustrate a more pronounced negative trend as compared to their buffer counterparts (1991 out of 3500 (a) and 675 out of 985 (b)). Source data are provided in Source_data.xlsx, on the sheet called Main_figure_4_and_Table_S5.
