MODIS Fractional Snow Cover Mapping Using Machine Learning Technology in a Mountainous Area
Remote Sensing, 2020 To improve the poor accuracy of the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) daily fractional snow cover product over the complex terrain of the Tibetan Plateau (RMSE = 0.30), unmanned aerial vehicle and machine learning technologies are ...

Assessing the Sustainability of Ski Fields in Southern Japan under Global Warming
Advances 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.

Revue 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.

Revue de Géographie Alpine, 2011 Mountain reservoirs are hydraulic structures implanted in recreational mountain resorts designed to provide a water reserve mainly used for the production of artificial snow. Their implantation in high-altitude zones makes them highly specific reservoirs

Snow heterogeneous reactivity of bromide with ozone lost during snow metamorphism [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020 Earth's snow cover is very dynamic on diurnal timescales. The changes to the snow structure during this metamorphism have wide-ranging impacts on processes such as avalanche formation and on the capacity of surface snow to exchange trace gases with the ...

Microscale Rearrangement of Ammonium Induced by Snow Metamorphism
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019 Earth’s snowpack hosts chemical impurities that exchange with the overlying air, strongly impacting atmospheric chemistry. Being embedded in firn and glacier ice formed from surface snow, impurities provide the basis for reconstructing past atmospheric ...

Self‐Supervised Coherence‐Based Denoising of Cryoseismological Distributed Acoustic Sensing Data
Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and ComputationA major challenge in cryoseismology is that signals of interest are often buried within the high noise level emitted by a variety of environmental processes. Particular Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) data often suffers from low signal‐to‐noise ratios

Increase of Snow Compaction Density by Repeated Artificial Snow Consolidation Formation
Journal 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.

Geosciences, 2014 Snow is an excellent water reservoir, naturally storing large quantities of water at time scales from a few days to several months. In summer-dry countries, like Armenia, runoff due to snow melt from mountain regions is highly important for a sustained ...
