TY - Data T1 - Snow classification map of Sturm-Holmgren system in China (1980-2020) A1 - Li Xiaofeng DO - 10.12072/ncdc.isnow.db2709.2023 PY - 2023 DA - 2023-01-25 PB - National Cryosphere Desert Data Center AB - This atlas applies the national surface meteorological driving grid data set with high spatial and temporal resolution and snow cover ground survey data (1980-2020) to divide and verify the snow cover types in China by extracting the winter atmospheric temperature, precipitation and near-surface wind speed information in China, and the binary tree snow type division method based on winter meteorological elements, using the seasonal snow cover type division system proposed by Sturm et al. (1995). Compared with Sturm et al. (1995), the spatial resolution of snow classification results is significantly improved. The snow cover classification results show that the snow cover types in China are divided into five types, namely, the grass type, the Taijialin type, the moss type, the alpine type and the instantaneous type, which are different from the classification description of Sturm et al. (1995). This atlas contains a total of 1 map and 1 corresponding mapping data, which is completely open and shared.
