Projected Reduction of Snow in 2080

Summary

This map shows the projected changes in snow fall in the northern hemisphere between 1981-2000 and 2081-2100, according to the ECHAM5 climate change model and the SRES A2 emission scenario (run 2). In some areas, there is a projected reduction of 60% to 80% of snow, while in others, most particularly in the Canadian Arctic and Siberia, there may be an increase of snow fall.
