Fig. 5From: Changes in extremely heavy and light snow-cover winters due to global warming over high mountainous areas in central JapanSeasonal progress of surface air temperature, SST, half-monthly snowfall, and accumulated snowfall above 2000 mASL. a, b SST, surface air temperature, and half-monthly snowfall, c, d accumulated snowfall, a, c heavy snow-cover years, and b, d light snow-cover years. The SST is regionally averaged over the Sea of Japan in the NHRCM01 domain (Fig. 1c). Blue, green, and red represent the 1km_HIST, 1km_2K, and 1km_4K experiments, respectively. Thin lines represent individual simulations. Thick lines and bars represent five-year averages in each climate conditionBack to article page
