Content:

• aux-paper_bc-maps-single-rcm.zip:
  Auxiliary figures for the paper.
• code.zip:
  All code used in processing and manuscript preparation.
• data_biascorrection.zip:
  Coarse resolution data (0.11°) of raw and bias adjusted snow cover fraction per GCM-RCM, and for different bias adjustment routines (delta change, QM, QDM). Available at monthly, seasonal and annual scales, for the periods 2041-2070 and 2071-2100, and under two future scenarios (RCP2.6 and RCP8.5).
• data_downscaling.zip:
  Annual snow cover duration at high resolution (250m) from QDM bias adjusted RCM data. Has single GCM-RCM and ensemble means; for the periods 2041-2070 and 2071-2100, and under two future scenarios (RCP2.6 and RCP8.5).
• data_modis.zip:
  Snow cover duration for the past (2001-2020). Has annual maps, climatologies (annual, seasonal), and auxiliary files (elevation, aspect).
