Assessing the Sustainability of Ski Fields in Southern Japan under Global Warming [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Meteorology, 2018
This is the first study in assessing the impact of climate change on Japanese ski fields with ensemble dynamical downscaling simulations. We target three ski fields in Ehime Prefecture, a southern border area for skiing in Japan.

An Experimental Investigation on the Size Distribution of Snow Particles during Artificial Snow Making

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
For artificial snowfall, snow particle size can have a direct impact on snow quality. The operating conditions of the snow-makers and environmental factors will influence the atomization and crystallization processes of artificial snow making, which ...

The NCAR–FAA Snow Machine: An Artificial Snow-Generation System [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2018
AbstractThe National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) developed an artificial snow-generation system designed to operate in a laboratory cold chamber for testing aircraft anti-icing fluids under controlled conditions. Flakes of ice are produced by shaving an ice cylinder with a rotating carbide bit; the resulting artificial snow is dispersed by ...
