Short summary
This study evaluated how updating land cover maps, such as forests, grasslands, and croplands, affects simulations of snow and land surface temperatures across Europe from 2010 to 2022. Results using older, less detailed maps were compared with those from newer, high-resolution data. The updated maps improved the accuracy of snow predictions, particularly in areas where grasslands transitioned to forests. However, the improvements were less noticeable for temperature simulations.
