Snow cover is often measured as snow water equivalent (SWE), which refers to the amount of water stored in a snow-pack that would be available upon melting. Snow cover and SWE represent the source of local snow melt release, and are sensitive to regional and global atmospheric circulation, and changes in climate. Monitoring SWE using satellite-based passive microwave radiometry has provided nea...

This paper presents an investigation of trend in historic hydrological time series of areal annual precipitation on and mean annual runoff from the basin of the Evinos River in western Greece. Using different tests for randomness, a statistically significant long lasting decreasing trend was found in the precipitation record, whereas an also significant fluctuating "local" trend was detected in...
