Mountain regions exhibit specific regional imprints when it comes to climate change. The presence of snow plays a role in this imprint and adds a strong seasonality to the observed changes. This study aims to understand the processes that link Elevation-Dependent Warming to the upward migration of the snowline, by investigating the surface energy balance in the Alps through the seasons. Combining three MAR (Modèle Atmosphérique Régional) simulations with a 7kmx7km resolution over 1961-2100 and under different climate scenarios, the change in albedo due to the upward migration of the snowline and the energy used to melt snow are found to be major drivers in the patterns of EDW simulated by MAR in the Alps.
