Comparison of AC Flashover Performance of Snow-Accreted Insulators Under Natural and Artificial Simulation Environments

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
The research on snow-accreted insulators have been performed in an artificial climate chamber. However, the differences in the distribution, density and compactness of snow accretion under natural and artificial simulation environments cause differences ...

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 ...

Temporal stability of long-term satellite and reanalysis products to monitor snow cover trends [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2023
Monitoring snow cover to infer climate change impacts is now feasible using Earth observation data together with reanalysis products derived from Earth system models and data assimilation. Temporal stability becomes essential when these products are used
