  abstract = {{S}tudy region: {A}tlas {M}ountains located in {M}orocco.{S}tudy focus: {M}ountainous regions constitute an area of water production, while water is used in downstream plains. {I}n {C}entral {M}orocco, the {A}tlas {M}ountains represent the most important water supply in the country. {T}he solid part of precipitation forms seasonal snowpack. {S}nowmelt is important for the water supply for different uses in neighbouring plains. {A}ccurate knowledge of snow water equivalent is key information needed by policy-makers to help design and implement appropriate allocation strategies for water resource management. {T}he objective of this paper is to provide a summary of our research activities on snow hydrology in the {A}tlas {M}ountains during the past twenty years. {T}he approach combines in situ measurements, remote sensing, and modeling.{N}ew hydrological insights for the region: {F}ollowing a description of the context of the {M}oroccan {A}tlas {M}ountains and the experimental network, an overview of the main results obtained is presented: the characterization of the spatiotemporal dynamics of snow cover; the impact of the {N}orth {A}tlantic {O}scillation on the snow-covered area; the snowmelt contribution to the flows of the {A}tlas rivers; the contribution of snowmelt to surface and groundwater recharge and the quantification of climate change impacts on snow and associated runoff from the {A}tlas {M}ountains. {W}e also present challenges and future research perspectives within this topic.},
