It focuses on the role of land?atmosphere interactions in cold regions, the nature of land surface processes, soil frozen-thawing processes, snow melting processes, and surface diabatic heating. By introducing new ways of climate modelling in cold regions, this reference will serve to improve seasonal climate prediction via the of use cryospheric signals. The concepts and date presented here will be of interest to those working and studying in the fields of meteorology, hydrology, and ecology alike.
