Supplementary material to "Snowfall in the Alps: Evaluation and projections based on the EURO-CORDEX regional climate models"

Abstract

Supplementary Material -Figure S1 a) and b) Expressing the point of inflexion C and the growth rate D of the Richards equation as a function of the subgrid topographical standard deviation. Grey circles: Fitted parameters for each grid cell in the Swiss domain. Black line: Global fit. c) Example for deriving the daily snow fraction sf based on the binary method with a snow fractionation temperature T * =2°C (gray line) and based on the Richards method assuming subgrid topographical standard deviations of 50 m (solid green line) and 500 m (dotted green line).
