Short summary
This study introduces innovative methods in cryospheric research by mapping and quantifying multi-decadal snow cover changes in the Western Alps using remote sensing. The normalized trend (nT) index offers a novel metric for analyzing annual mean snow events. This enables intensity analysis of climate change impacts on snow dynamics, highlighting critical vulnerabilities in water management and regional economic systems.
