Abstract

Snow cover days are an important parameter to characterize the variation of snow cover and it’s also sensitive factors of regional climate response. This paper we used 1979-2014 older time series of microwave remote sensing data in Inner Mongolia and 47’s weather station meteorological observation data analyzes the temporal and spatial variation characteristics of snow cover days of Inner Mongolia and its response to climate factors, results obtained from year 1979 to 2013, Inner Mongolia Plateau snow cover days were significantly decreased (P < 0.01). Inner Mongolia snow cover days mutation was in 2001.Influenced by topography and water, Inner Mongolia snow cover days high values are distributed in the northeast of HulunBuir plateau and Greater Khingan Mountains, XilinGol northeast area and XilinGol in eastern and Chifeng City in western of the transition zone. Low value areas mainly distributed in the Western league and City, Baotou City, Bayan Nur City, Ordos City and Alxa league.
