Horizontal distribution of the 15-year mean annual maximum snow depth and changes due to global warming. Fifteen-year mean maximum snow depth simulated by a 5km_HIST and b 1km_HIST experiments. Differences in maximum snow depths between c 1km_2K and 1km_HIST experiments and d 1km_4K and 1km_HIST experiments. Contours represent elevations. The contour interval is 500 m, and the thick contour interval is 1000 m
