Snow is a critical component of the Arctic climate system. Over Northern Eurasia and North America the duration of snow cover is 7 to 10 months per year and a maximum snow extension is over 40% of the Northern Hemisphere land each year. Snow affects a variety of high latitude climate processes and feedbacks. High reflectivity of snow and low thermal conductivity have a cooling effect and modulates the snow-albedo feedback. A contribution from terrestrial snow to the Earth’s radiation budget at the top of the atmosphere is close to that from the sea ice. Snow also prevents large energy losses from the underlying soil and notably the ice growth and the development of seasonal permafrost. Being a natural water storage, snow plays a critical ro...
