The Arctic has been experiencing a shift from snow to rain in the spring. By analyzing temperature data and precipitation records from over 250 stations, researchers found that the proportion of rain in total precipitation decreased with higher latitudes. They identified specific temperature thresholds to separate rain from snow, and observed a general trend towards more liquid precipitation in the Arctic during spring. This transition was most pronounced in the terrestrial Arctic regions, with some areas showing significant increases in rainfall. The study also revealed seasonal and regional variability in precipitation forms, with coastal Arctic stations showing a consistent increase in liquid precipitation.
