|a Analysis of Northern Hemisphere spring terrestrial
snow cover extent (SCE) from the NOAA snow chart
Climate Data Record (CDR) for the April to June period
(when snow cover is mainly located over the Arctic) has
revealed statistically significant reductions in May and June
SCE. Successive records for the lowest June SCE have been
set each year for Eurasia since 2008, and in 3 of the past
5 years for North America. The rate of loss of June snow
cover extent between 1979 and 2011 (-17.8% decade-1)
is greater than the loss of September sea ice extent
(-10.6% decade-1) over the same period. Analysis of Coupled
Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) model
output shows the marked reductions in June SCE observed
since 2005 fall below the zone of model consensus defined by
+/-1 standard deviation from the multi-model ensemble
mean. |
