Seasonal Snow Cover

Seasonal snow cover refers to the layer of snow that builds up during winter months and melts away in the spring. This phenomenon is influenced by factors such as temperature, precipitation, and geography. Snow cover plays a crucial role in the Earth’s climate system by reflecting sunlight, insulating the ground, and influencing water supply for rivers and ecosystems as it melts. The extent and duration of snow cover can vary significantly each year due to weather patterns and climate change, affecting agriculture, water resources, and wildlife habitats. Understanding snow cover is important for climate research and environmental management.
