Short summary
Our study highlights that the negative phase of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) enhanced winter snowfall in the Karakoram and the Western Himalayas (KH) from 1940 to 2022. This is driven by deep convection, adiabatic cooling, and a wave-like atmospheric pattern linked to the subtropical jet (STJ). The PDO–STJ relationship offers insights into decadal snowfall predictability in KH, emphasizing the PDO's role in regional climate dynamics.
