Title

Caption for Figure 2.22 from Chapter 2 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6)
Abstract

April snow cover extent (SCE) for the Northern Hemisphere (1922–2018). Shading shows very likely range. The trend over the entire 1922–2018 period (black line) is –0.29 (± 0.07) million km2 per decade. Further details on data sources and processing are available in the chapter data table (Table 2.SM.1)
