Assessment of Artificial and Natural Transport Mechanisms of Ice Nucleating Particles in an Alpine Ski Resort in Obergurgl, Austria

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Artificial snow production is a crucial part of modern skiing resorts in Austria and globally, and will develop even more so with changing precipitation patterns and a warming climate trend. Producing artificial snow requires major investments in energy,

Effect of Dwarfing Induced by Uniconazole-P on Snow Tolerance of the Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.)

open access: yesPlant Production Science, 2001
To clarify the effect of artificial dwarfing induced by uniconazole-P, a gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitor, on the snow tolerance of faba bean, we examined the snow damage, non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) concentration, and resistance to snow molds of

Preliminary evalution of artificial snow cover as a method for the protection of the vine during winter in Québec

open access: yesOENO One, 2000
The sensitivity of the vine to cold temperatures makes it a high risk crop in Québec. Winter colds during January and February can reach through the course of several days - 30° C and consequently the intense cold can damage the buds.

Study of Overall Morphology and Particle-size Distribution of Spray Field in Gas–liquid Mixed Snow-makers

open access: yesZhileng xuebao, 2023
Since the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, the domestic ice and snow industry has grown rapidly, driven particularly by artificial snow parks with higher requirements in terms of both the quantity and the quality of artificial snow.

Uncertainties in classification system conversion and an analysis of inconsistencies in global land cover products [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this study, using the common classification systems of IGBP-17, IGBP-9, IPCC-5 and TC (vegetation, wetlands and others only), we studied spatial and areal inconsistencies in the three most recent multi-resource land cover products in a complex ...

Les barrages alpins

open access: yesRevue de Géographie Alpine, 2008
Mountain reservoirs were initially built in the Alps to meet energy needs in the winter. A certain diversification in the uses of water then gradually developed, related to tourism development in the local communities.

Les impacts hydrologiques de la production de neige dans un domaine de moyenne montagne

open access: yesVertigO, 2016
Artificial snowmaking is a relatively recent practice in Europe and in North America. This activity is necessary for the ski resorts to maintain and develop economic activities. However snowmaking requires large quantities of water, which are pumped from

Norden, reframed [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This paper calls for Norden to be understood as a metaframe. Related formulations like “Nordic art” or “Nordic welfare” function as mesoframes. These trigger multiple framing devices.

Increase of Snow Compaction Density by Repeated Artificial Snow Consolidation Formation

open access: yesJournal of the Institute of Industrial Applications Engineers, 2020
A method to consolidate huge amounts of snow into large ice pieces has been investigated based on science viewpoints for supporting the maintenance of road infrastructure in winter [1]. This study investigated repeated artificial snow consolidation formation for increasing snow compaction density. Producing compacted snow having density exceeding ρ = 0.

Suitability of ground-based SfM-MVS for monitoring glacial and periglacial processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Photo-based surface reconstruction is rapidly emerging as an alternative survey technique to lidar (light detection and ranging) in many fields of geoscience fostered by the recent development of computer vision algorithms such as structure from motion ...
