Fig. 1: Simulated month-to-month evolution of the local impact of the springtime TPSC deficit.
From: Enduring local impact of springtime snow cover over the Third Pole
The spatial distribution of the monthly difference between the two model scenarios ("snow-deficient” − “snow-rich'') from March to August for precipitation (a), vertically integrated moisture divergence (b), geopotential at 200 hPa (c) and 500 hPa (d), and updraft helicity (e). The vertical profile of the regionally-averaged difference over the TP for vertical velocity (f) and air temperature (g). The white contour in c, d marks the TP region with elevations higher than 3000 m. For each subplot in a–e, the number given is the weighted average for the TP region.
