Snow Cover in Alaska: Comprehensive Review
This report presents the results of a statistical analysis of snow cover in Alaska using historical
data acquired from the Global Historical Climate Network. Measurements of snow depth and
snow water equivalence were collected for Alaska stations between 1950 and 2017. Data
cleaning and a distribution analysis were completed for all stations. Finally regression
equations were developed to estimate snow water equivalence using recorded snow depth
data from Alaska stations.
