Abstract
The cryosphere is one of the most sensitive layers responding to global climate warming. Terrestrial seasonal snow is an important component of the global cryosphere and plays a significant role in global climate change and the water-energy cycle. Temperature is a key factor influencing the transformation between rainfall and snowfall. The variations of snow cover are closely related to seasonal fluctuations in temperature and precipitation patterns. The ongoing of Global climate warming will significantly impact on seasonal snow in the cryosphere. This poses a huge challenge for regions that rely on meltwater as their main source of water.
