The air temperature-snow coupling strength before, during, and after the snowmelt
stage as defined in the text (From Xu and Dirmeyer (

Fig. 12.3
The
top panel
shows the zonal mean
(land points only) of air
temperature coupling strength
at different snow stages
defined in the text. The
bottom panel
demonstrates a
conceptual model of coupling
strength (
solid line
)asa
function of latitude. The
right
axis
is the incident solar
radiation (SW;
long dashed
line
), and the
left axis
indicates the snow depth and
snow-cover fraction (
short
dashed line
) (Reproduced
from Xu and Dirmeyer
