What is it about?
Focusing on the mid˗latitude region of the Eastern European Lowlands, this study quantitatively explains (1) how cold-season thermal features and snow water storage have been changing over recent decades and (2) how these shifts impact spring snowmelt, streamflow features, and baseflow. Here, a 60-year (1961─2020) snow water equivalent dataset and hydrometeorological observations are used to conceptualize the linkages between a selected set of paired indicators.

Why is it important?
The vulnerability of a nival river regime to climate change is identified, which might facilitate comparisons across different river basins and regions.
Perspectives
This scheme can be used flexibly across diverse regions using historic records, reanalysis data, or future climate datasets. It is designed for climate settings in which spring snowmelt contributes the most to spring flooding.
