Response of snow cover to climate change in the periphery mountains of Tarim river basin, China, over the past four decades
Data of annual mean temperature, annual total precipitation and snow-cover area (SCA) in the winter season from 1982 to 2001 have been analyzed to examine the response of SCA to climate change in the Tarim basin, western China. The results show that over the entire basin SCA exhibits a slowly decrea...
