A recent study published in the journal Nature has found a nonlinear relationship between increasing winter temperatures and declining snowpacks. The researchers identified a temperature threshold of 17 degrees Fahrenheit, above which snowpack loss begins and accelerates with each additional degree of warming. This has significant implications for regions that rely on snowpack for water supply, as snowless winters are likely to become more common. The study also highlights the need for further research and funding in the field of climate change and its impact on snowpack. [Extracted from the article] |
