Description
Summary:Treballs Finals de Grau de Física, Facultat de Física, Universitat de Barcelona, Curs: 2023, Tutora: María Santolaria Otín Snow plays a crucial role in the Arctic system and is highly sensitive to global warming. It impacts various climate processes due to its reflective properties (snow-albedo feedback) and low thermal conductivity (insulation effects on the soil). Snow also serves as a natural water reservoir, playing a vital role in the hydrological cycle of high latitudes. This study aims to assess how well global climate models represent Arctic terrestrial snow compared to observations and examine future projections
