Abstract
The time series of snow data for a sample of Italian meteorological stations have been analyzed taking into account, for the time series, an acceptable continuity and quality of meteorological data. The data set is that of the Italian Meteorological Service (UGM), and refer to the period 1982–2004. The Slovenian station of Kredarica, located in the Julian Alps, has been added for convenience. The study is composed of two different parts: - Climatologic analysis of the snow parameters during the last 20 years. In particular, the height of the fresh snow and the number of days with permanence of snow at the ground have been analyzed. - Evidence of the synoptic situations in which snowfalls are observed with at least a thickness of 10 cm in at leasta third of the total number of analyzed stations in Central, Southern and insular ItalyI documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
