Short summary
Mountain snow is a critical water source, but its warming response is complex. This study developed a new method to examine this in arid Xinjiang mountains using long-term satellite data, revealing a three-level control system and that a strong snow-temperature link does not guarantee a healthy system; it also provides a framework for water availability prediction and climate adaptation.
