Nature paper about trends in snow mass all over the globe

I think you can get all of the data from the graphs from Nature and reprocess. I was particularly concerned by the final two years in Figure 2.

You could also pose the question of, If GlobSnow assigns all SWE greater than 150 mm as equal to 150 mm, what would that do to any trend analysis with SWE exceeding 150 mm sometimes? (could invent "true" data with and without trends, mis-sense it like GlobSnow, and then try to calculate trends).

It's not too different from our Cascade snow homework, but this is a bit more up to date
