Simulations of snow depth in Norway in a projected future climate (2071-2100)

Abstract

Results for the projected future average snow depth are presented for the 19 counties of Norway at different elevations and at the time of four different popular holiday seasons during the winter and spring. The results show, among others, that the overall absolute changes in snow depth from 1971-2000 to 2071-2100 seem to be largest in the west coast counties (Rogaland to Møre og Romsdal) as well as in Nordland, and smallest in the inland counties of eastern Norway (Hedmark, Oppland, Buskerud).
