On the hydrological difference between catchments above and below the intermittent‐persistent snow transition

Because of the importance of snow for river discharge in mountain regions, hydrological research often focuses on seasonally snow‐covered zones. However, in many basins the majority of the land surface area is intermittently snow‐covered. Discharge monitoring in these areas is less common, so their...
